Ebay problem

College Life

<p>So I ordered an authentic Nazi combat uniform off ebay for 1.25. I assume nobody wants to be reminded of Nazi stuff during the winter holidays, so I was able to win it for such a low price.</p>

<p>However, it seems like the seller was sour that I won it for so low and doesn't want to sell it to me. I feel kind of sorry for him, because the item is worth over 100 dollars. However, I feel like I played by the rules and scored a really good deal, and should be rewarded. The auction lasted for 4 days, and I was the highest bidder the entire time.</p>

<p>How should I proceed? Should I get ebay on his tail?</p>

<p>He is required to give you the item for whatever price the auction ended at. If he had set a reserve to begin with, he would not have this problem.</p>

<p>You could always be nice and send him $1.50 though… ;)</p>

<p>You should try e-mailing him first. If he’s unresponsive, let eBay (and paypal, if you paid through them) know. If the seller did not set a reserve price, it is his fault.</p>

<p>^wow. I would have been like oops I misplaced it.</p>

<p>The seller probably set a reserve price if its really worth $100 dollars. ebay also can’t force the seller to sell the item.</p>

<p>The guy made a mistake and forgot to set the minimum. He could be breaking the rules, but I doubt he would send me the uniform even if he was.</p>

<p>I decided to just let him keep the uniform, and asked to be refunded 1.25 + 10 bucks shipping.</p>
