eBay issues and feelin' like crap.
Well that basically sums up my day. I've been feelin really crap since I was out on Sat night. I was fine to begin with then after dinner and some drinks I got this horrible feeling in my gut which later headed south. I don't think it had anything to do with what I ate especially seeing as Rachel and I shared the same pizza. Katie reckoned it was the three toblerone cocktail's I had, but she's just biased against creamy cocktails - they don't usually affect me. Besides it's a couple a days later now and I still feel like crud.
So yeah. Today I went on eBay as usual to have a look at phones. I found a listing for a Nokia 7270 which once I looked at it turned out to be a Nokia 7370. So I messaged the seller to find out which it actually was (it was the 7370) and seeing as it was heaps less than what I'd ever seen this phone go for I bid on it and ended up winning it for A$127.50. Ok soooo here I am stoked coz this phone goes for over A$500 on eBay and I'm not sure what in shops (I don't actually think it's even in Australia yet!).
So after a very brief, shining moment of happiness I get an email from the seller saying that they were re-listing the item due to the title description being wrong! They can't do that! It's a contract. They listed it, I bid for it and won. Therefore the damn phone is mine BEOTCH!
So after emailing them a few times - the result of which was them offering me 10% off my next purchase - I have contacted eBay to see what they can do. I mean the second auction could end up being more like the A$500 I've seen the phones go for and 10% is not going to do me any damn good! They made a mistake so why should I have to pay for it?
I mean consider the mistake in the first place. The title said it was a nokia 7270 but it turned out to be a 7370. If anything this only effects the buyer. I'm not worried about it seeing as they answered my question that it was in fact the 7370. So why are they re-listing it when it was successfully sold? Because they want to sell it for more that's bloody well why! Too damn bad! An auction's an auction. If the damn phone sold for $127.50 then you sell the damn price to the person who won it! There was no reserve so they can't do anything about it!
I hope that eBay are gonna back me up on this. I mean I'm pretty sure they will. I am in the right here... aren't I? Back me up people the phone should be mine right? The thing that worries me is that the buggers have already re-listed the phone! So if they have another auction before eBay settle this... what then?
I'm gonna be dreamin' angry dreams about mobile phones tonight I just know it!
