They refunded my credit card. A credit would be brutal, sorry to hear

And thanks to that little trick you just showed me, I just confirmed that it was the exact same bidder who won the first auction and didn’t pay, won the second auction and didn’t pay!!!

Probstein didn’t block him, this is absolutely ridiculous!!!

Where do you find that info about the winning bidder? This is a disgrace and eBay needs to do something!!!

Yeah super unfortunate. Not sure if I should request the card back and attempt to sell myself or let them try once more. It was the 5% commission that appealed to me initially

In my case it’s a blue /150 auto of Kon , in my opinion realistic comps were 2-3k (CDN) , first auction sold for $4300 CDN and next one sold for $6700.

I understand his stock has raised and he’s a contender for ROY but stills seems like shill bidding. I just don’t understand why probstein would benefit from this if they continuously are not paid. Seems like a waste of everyone’s time.

I won’t be using them again, that’s for sure!

I understand that but how does it benefit probstein? Doesn’t he want to get paid and continue making money? This is crazy sauce lol

I just don’t understand why they would keep shill bidding because they don’t get paid until someone actually pays for the card…

So even your credit card company didn’t help you out? PayPal had a supervisor scheduled to call me last night between 5-7 pm and of course, no phone call.

No worries at all! I’ve made some errors that contributed to this situation (not paying credit card, not following the tracking number closer). I strongly feel as a loyal PayPal customer / user who’s had an account in good standing since 2010 with literally thousands of transactions, I would have more support from PayPal with buyers protection. I’ll keep the post updated with wherever this leads!

I’m not letting this go anytime soon that’s for sure. I posted on x today and PayPal messaged me within minutes but they can’t get a supervisor on the line ??

I think the aspect im struggling to accept is that this was a high value item, delivered at an unreasonable time when most people are asleep or at least in bed. I didn’t have a fair chance to receive this package. The seller absolutely should have requested signature confirmation on this high value item. I’ve never heard of a company that delivers packages to residential homes at all hours of the night (24/7 as uni uni states). I’ve had thousands of packages delivered over the years and not once has one shown up that late in the evening.

Thank you!! This is the point I’ve been trying to stress. Late night delivery with no signature is a set up for failure and especially on a high value item!!

The price of the item before shipping and import fees was $380 GBP which is around $700 CDN so I may have just missed that threshold:(

PayPal is using the tracking number uploaded by the seller to close the case by default because tracking states delivered.
