I know my problem is minute, compared to others here, but I'm very affected, in shock and I reacted and am not sure if I did the right thing. It's a pretty long post and I apologize in advance. I would really appreciate any thoughts.
I won:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250682422695 and
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250682422603
at very good winning bids.
Shortly after the auctions ended, seller sent 2 requests to cancel transactions because she claimed to be out-of-stock. She had another auction running which was supposed to have the said 2 out of stock items. I asked that since my auctions ended 1st and the other one still had 7 days to go, to send me the ones I won and cancel that. She said she couldn't do so because eBay did not allow her to as there were bids already. That auction ended with a very high winning bid, as opposed to my low winning bids.
I didn't want to cancel and let her know that I had no problem paying first and she could send me the items as soon as her stock came in. She said NO, she did not want to pay eBay fees?! I didn't quite understand because she said that once her stock comes in, she'll send me the invoice and I can then pay for the auctions and she'd waive shipping and ship them to me for free. Against my better judgement, I believed her and agreed to cancel the 2 transactions.
Fast forward to about 2 weeks ago - the seller emailed me and said stock would come in, in about 2 weeks. I was excited. I emailed seller a few days ago, asking if she received the stock so that I can pay for the stroller blanket and pillow sham I won. She said yes, and it'll cost me $65 including shipping!
The auctions I won totalled $37.05. I fully expect to pay $37.05, with shipping waived, like what she said. I sent her an email asking her to clarify, if she's forgotten what she said to me. These were sent via eBay messaging, so there's ample proof and she could see that. She ignored my email.
I sent her another 2 emails - which she ignored too. Today, I left 2 negative feedbacks stating facts. She followed up, saying I tried to bargain on one and on another, I was dishonest. I am shocked and upset! How am I being dishonest? How am I bargaining?
I bought from her previously and she sent it item promptly and that was a positive experience, so I left her a VERY positive feedback because it was a good buying experience. What did I do wrong? How am I being dishonest for leaving her a positive feedback for a previously pleasant transaction?
I'm feeling very stupid and very cheated as of right now. It is in my opinion that the seller cancelled transactions because the winning bids were too low. She NEVER had the intention of selling them to me for the winning bids.
I feel very bad leaving her the negatives, at the same time, I am feeling very angry and stupid. Should I not have negged her and moved on instead?
