    I'm sorry, but I don't think that is a valid reason for retracting a bid. You could have easily asked the seller questions before placing a bid. I've been a buyer on Ebay for over 15 years and I have bid on tens of thousands of items over the years. I have never retracted a bid and the only valid reason I could ever imagine for retracting a bid i s if a seller literally changes the item completely or admits that what is pictured is not what is really being sold or otherwise engages in fraud. That doesn't appear to be the case here. You just imagined that this was something it was not and that could have easily been avoided by asking questions first. The claim somebody else made about adding an extra zero or euros is similarly ridiculous. Ebay gives you a confirmation screen and a currency conversion for your bid before you confirm. From the buyer's perspective, I think easy bid retractions allow for too much fraud and manipulation and also allows unscrupulous buyers and sellers to get insight into what a legitimate bidder is willing to pay for an item. That hurts buyers and should never be allowed. If you don't know what you're bidding on, don't bid, it's really as simple as that.

     

    Well, you are wrong. This is a very valid reason and one of the valid reasons Ebay allows.

    Unfortunately, Ebay will side with the buyer. I would go ahead and issue the refund. If you have them officially go through Ebay it will count against you. It is what Ebay has become and is simply a bad deal for the seller. But as Ebay knows, if you want to sell on their site you will abide by their wishes. If you can find a better avenue to sell, I would use it. Again though, Ebay is where you get the most money (and hassle) it would seem.

    Man, a neutral feedback for that. As a seller on Ebay, it is hard enough dealing with the normal issues that arise, let alone someone who complains when an item arrives without any real issues. An email to the seller to let them know you thought that shipping media mail was not proper would have sufficed, in my opinion. That neutral hurts that seller more than you know. I do not advocate shipping items that are not media, media mail, but the post office can and does open media mail boxes (just received one this month that said opened by the USPS to verify contents -- the first ever and I have bought thousands of items over the years). Hopefully you let the seller know before leaving the neutral feedback and not just taking the opinions of everyone on this board.

    Activision seems to have done this alot. I bought River Raid in the 1980s sealed from Zayre's and it ended up being Spider Fighter with a River Raid label. Kind of disappointing when you are expecting River Raid and get Spider Fighter.

    I just went to bid and received a warning that PayPal will not process the bid amount. How will you accept payment if PayPal is not able to be accepted?

     

     

     

     

    "Please note that PayPal (and some credit card companies) generally will not process payments in excess of a certain dollar amount. If the winning bid amount is above this level, it may be necessary to contact the seller to arrange other payment methods. This is not something the seller has direct control over, so please keep this in mind when providing feedback."
