Grrr!!

[oh reverie]

I was so excited to win a Coach large Zoe yesterday for only $150! The seller had 100+ feedback and 5 other Coach bags listed as well.
I made payment yesterday...waited for the seller to reply...and this is the response I received today:

Hi There,
I am so sorry to cancel the auction before it's over. I dont have any of the bag left. My sister return them all back to the store because there was some damages (scratches) when we got it back home from the buckle. I tried to exahnged that with coach but they dont have any avail. so I return them b/c it's not what I have advertized on ebay. I apologize for the inconvience.

WHAT THE HECK?! I assume she did this with the other 5 bags as well.
I mean, what is the point of this?! Why let the auctions go on, be won by someone, RECEIVE PAYMENT AND WAIT A DAY, before deciding to notify the buyer that it is no longer available?!

I am so steamed right now I just needed to vent to my fellow bag ladies.

That is super annoying. You are right to be steamed.

 

[CowPrincess]

what is the point of this?!

I'd guess the point was she didn't get enough $$$ for the bag so made up the lame story so she could cancel the sale.

Watch for them to be re-listed, maybe under the current ID or a new one.

Sometimes, I just dont understand how some people think..I am sorry.

 

[Love Of My Life]

Probably the seller will relist the item.. if so, I would contact ebay and let them follow up

Disappointing without doubt and the seller came up with a lame excuse

 

[chloehandbags]

It almost certainly is an excuse, but it is, vaguely, possible that it's true and if so, with all the SNAD condition nightmares on here, I guess we shouldn't be too hard on her for trying to do the right thing?

Definitely keep your eye out for the probable relist, though!

I'd be totally irritated too! I hope she refunds you immediately, if she hasn't already.
