Looking to buy a French RCIR

[kman]

Sweet...I just got me a case of 12 RCIRs! Looks like one other bidder was hanging in there for the last few minutes. I gave him about 90 seconds to outbid me but I guess I hit his limit. Finally ended at EUR 80.

Finally ended at EUR 80.

I just found another auction for a case of 10 RCIRs (partial case) for EUR 10 right now:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0346319213

I don't know if they ship outside of France.

Looking at the ad, it does not look like he/she ships to the USA. The international shippers are usually very good about listing if they ship outside of their respective countries.

If you're interested, it might be worth a note to the seller to see if he'll send to you. The worst he could say is "no".

Actually...the worst he could do is what the guy in my RCIR auction is trying to do - shake me down for more shipping. After I paid for the auction, he wrote back and said he'd need EUR 59 more to send to me in the US. Screw that...he quoted EUR 50 in the auction...not "contact me for shipping quotes" or "shipping is approximate".

I could use some advice here, guys...

So the seller came back and said since I didn't want to pay the extra shipping (he says he made a mistake in the auction) he would refund my payment (which he did) and cancel the transaction. I have the money back but now I have a request from eBay to cancel the transaction, which I assume refunds his eBay fees. He's saying the reason for the cancellation is because we disagreed over the terms of the auction. As far as I'm concerned, the disagreement is that I think he should abide by the terms and he doesn't thnk he needs to.

So what do you think? Should I refuse to cancel the transaction and leave him negative feedback? I don't like being an ass but he shouldn't be running his auctions like that.

The seller is responisible for the auction description. He offered worldwide (!) shipping at €50!
If shipping is now "suddenly" more expanisive it´s his bad luck! He is/was responsible for!
Btw. €109 ($145) for shipping is pretty pricy to me. German DHL is delivering up to 20kg (~45lb.) for just €65 ($85) to USA.

1.) Refuse the cancellation (otherwise you are the "bad guy")
2.) Complain at Ebay that he denied to deliver
3.) Give him a negative feedback if he persists in non-delivering
4.) Ebay will warn him and he has to pay the fee´s

in the case he offeres worldwide shipping for "only" 50 euro he MUST give it to you for that price. he and you made a fix contract trough the auction you won. so its his fault.
that was the good part - the bad will be the customs again i can imagine. a never ending story with that...

I would refuse the cancellation as well... He is in breach of the contract due to shipping issues. You paid the total in good faith... Yes, he did refund your money, but he is weaselling out of having to ship it per original terms...

There was a legal binding contract between both of you, if he breached that contract then he is responsible for what is coming to him( fees, bad feed back)
Peace!!
