Computers eBay question

**Buck** · 10-10-2016, 10:20 PM

I sold a concert festival ticket today on eBay and the guy sent me money via PayPal.

I priced it way below face because the concert is on Friday and I had to sell fast and FedEx overnight (sending tomorrow).

6 hours later he sends a message saying "I'd like to cancel this order please"

Because of the lack of time left for me to get this out to someone I'm inclined to say no, you already paid me, and took my listing offline.

Am I in the right to do so?

Absolutely

Too bad guy

**The Franchise** · 10-10-2016, 10:27 PM

Yeah. Too bad for him. He owes you money.

**Buck** · 10-10-2016, 10:27 PM

I already have his money.

I'm just worried about my 100% eBay rep taking a hit because this guy has buyers remorse.

88TG88 · 10-10-2016, 10:31 PM

eBay asks you if you if you accept refunds before posting the listing, if you put no then you're set.

**Buck** · 10-10-2016, 10:36 PM

I put returns not accepted. I haven't shipped it yet so I don't know what the rule is there. He just sent me another message saying he can't make it. Maybe in the morning I will tell him I'll post it again and if someone buys it by 3 pm then I'll let him off the hook.

Idk the legality of that. What kind of person pays $400 and renegs?

I thought that even if you put 'no returns' the item can still be return if 'item not as described.' That doesn't really fit for concert tix, so you should be good. Although...you can never underestimate the assholes who will claim they never got the thing you sent. Even if sent certified or registered or whatever.

Your "if sold by 3pm" idea is reasonable, but if they don't sell...
I don't know how much money it is, but I'd likely take my chances and not refund the money and send the guy his tickets. It's a pretty big lie to sign for something and then accuse you of sending an empty envelope. I'd gamble on him not making that claim.

Didn't you get an e-ticket that you can download and sell on Stubhub--that's the way to go.

You're screwed unless the guy is nice.

PayPal changed their policy last year. Buyers have 180 days to reverse purchases, for any reason.

Good luck.

Really? Are you an eBay seller? What's your rating?

What's your eBay store?

I have 400 or so feedback. Used to sell a lot of tickets before Stubhub became so easy and a much smarter way to do it.

Anyway, you can ask for a reverse in a certain time, but that doesn't mean the buyer will get it. You're acting like there is 180-day return policy on everything. There isn't. And "I can't make it" isn't a valid reason for cancelling a transaction for tickets.

However, that doesn't mean the buyer can't lie and **** with the seller and claim they never received the tickets or some shit.

A last-minute ticket sale on ebay is a terrible method. If no pdf or barcode to sell on stubhub, my last resort would be craigslist.

Yup and i'm betting thats what they will do if he doesnt just cancel and re-list.

Stubhub is owned by eBay, which is crap within itself, but I digress.

Purchasing tickets on eBay is far different than most items, especially musical instrumentt, pro audio gear, etc.

As I mentioned in the last post, PayPal protects buyers for 180 days. So if you send an item in perfect working order and it arrives in perfect working order, but the buyer says on day 179, "Item not as described", PayPal will put a hold on your account, refund the buyer and in most cases, allow the buyer to keep the item.

Maybe it's still fine for clothes and other items but it sucks for bigger ticket items, although the whole "refurb" scam has taken a life of its own, from my understating.

Bottom line: stay away as a seller.

Unfortunately this - Ebay as well - Ebay has sided w/ the buyer like never in their history - it started about 3 yrs ago.
