So on Sunday I won this auction
http://www.ebay.com/itm/11-12-PANIN...t=US_Hockey_Trading_Cards&hash=item3ceafc87e0
the seller had been listing it BIN for $1599 for a few weeks, and then eventually listed it as an auction with a 0.99c starting price.
So understandably, I was ecstatic to win that auction for that price.
I received the invoice within a few hours of it ending, with an additional $40 p&h which I was happy enough to pay given my max was double what I won it for. I paid immediately.
Then the next day I get this message:
Bit odd, thought any decent postal service - especially at $40US - would have a guaranteed signature delivery. But I figured I'll give them my COMC address, problem solved.
2 days pass before I get a reply... problem apparently not solved.
Really?
So I said refund me the money and I'll send it again with the COMC postage details in place.
Bearing in mind I replied within 4 minutes, 24 hours later, I get another reply:
More delays... just use the address on the original paypal transaction!
I've replied, clarifying if that's $275 Canadian, as its $10 more than what I originally paid.
But I feel I'll get another delay, because technically, that Paypal address is probably "linked" to my Australian residence only. Despite having used the COMC address many times with both US and Canadian sellers.
My main concern is they have seller's remorse because the cards sold for so low, or they got offered more from someone who missed out.
Either way I've never had so much drama with an eBay transaction before. And I'm not letting go because when it comes down to it, they advertised postage to Australia, I was invoiced for it and I paid immediately.
Surely I have the upper hand here.
