I recently won an auction on the big auction site where I was the only bidder on a flair tip ss and got it for $5. Was quite happy and paid immediately. A few days later got a note from the seller saying he mailed it off to the wrong person and if I don't want to wait until he gets it back he'll give a refund. I said I understood and that these things happen and I was happy to wait. A week later he said it still hasn't shown up and again offered a refund. Again I politely said I was in no rush and happy to wait. Another week later I got a notice saying the seller has opened a refund saying the buyer had returned the item and asked for a refund ( which I haven't).
I'm pretty sure the story was just bogus and he just didn't want to sell for the good price I got it for. It wasn't anything special just a run of the mill user grade flair tip but I'm pretty disappointed I can't get the item I won and paid for. I'm also a bit put off by him saying it was because I returned it, saying it was my fault.
Has anyone else experienced something like this? What did you do? I guess there's not much else I can do but I do think it's pretty unfair when I play by the rules.
