Seller wanting to Cancel transaction
« on: February 18, 2012, 03:23:54 pm »
Anyone had this before: bought on auction site, paid online, collected and the seller wants to cancel the transaction to save on listing fees? Dont know how it would effect me as I have the goods but seems dodgy!

Nothing wrong with this,seller's have requested this plenty of time's from me after recieving good's so they don't face any seller's listing fee's etc. :happy2:

You could get banned from eBay.

If you paid the right amount and won fair and square then I wouldn't.

As you've already got the goods it doesn't make much difference IMO. I'd ignore it myself though.

They used eBay to sell there item and now want to scam them out of their rightful fees .... if you don't agree with eBay's fees then don't sell items on there simple  :happy2:

I might ignore it as the fact the guy drives a 750 with 22" Bentley chrome rims now, I think he could afford to pay the £50!

hes only trying to not pay the fees. nothing wrong with it, im sure you'll like to save £50 if you had a chance to.

ask yourself the question - are you happy with the item ?

If you agree, then in ebays eyes you above cancelled the transaction.
This means that if something should happen to the item, let's say in the very near future, you would have no choice but to put up with it. You would have no legal rights since you agreed to cancel those rights.
The seller sold the item via eBay. It's only right he should pay the fees to sell that item. I would avoid this, in fact I would report it to eBay.

I suppose it depends on what the item is. If it was expensive and electrical then I'd think twice.....

What if it turns out to be stolen?
You say you bought it off eBay he denies it and says he never sold it to you because you asked to cancel the transaction even though you didn't.
This could go on and on.
If I sell something on eBay I expect to pay the fees, although getting to the point of downright extortion.
Ignore it.

Don't bother unless they are splitting the £50 with you.

Well it's a set of 19s from a 7 series, all genuine with stamps on them and saw the car they came off, well maybe, the guys name was on the plates and worked for this tyre place, but didn't meet him, picked the wheels up from the workers there, plus his name and email isn't even the one on the eBay information.

It's all looking a lot more dodgy now considering the above too. Think I might say no to his request, just incase.
