I realize this problem could be so much worse, but I am so upset. I have been putting money away for a UHG which is largely out of reach, but I figured I wouldn't mind the challenge. A seller listed a BIN for a bag that I went crazy over, and would be a great compromise for my UHG, with a price that was amazing. I put the item on my watch list and started listing some beloved items that I figured I could do without since I was getting an amazing bag out of it. With these sales and what I had saved up, I had enough for the bag. THEN I noticed the seller dropped the price by $250! I quickly pulled the trigger. Yay! I was so excited! I let the seller know how happy I was and I was transferring money to my account and would pay as soon as the transfer completes. The seller messages me the next day and says that they were selling the bag for someone else and they don't have it, it's been sold by that person! I am FURIOUS!
Looking at this seller's feedback, I see they've done this before. I realize that I can't force them to sell a bag, but the fact that they lowered the price just minutes before I purchased makes me even angrier. At this point, is there anything I can do? I know I can neg them, and I haven't received a cancelation request (this was a pricey bag), but from what I understand, ebay doesn't really address or penalize NPS anymore. Any additional advice would be very appreciated. I transferred money to my PP account, sold items and everything for this bag and I'm quite angry right now.
