Default Ebay rip off

Just thought I'd share. Some more canny (Ebay watching) types may have noticed a rear bumper for a Zetec on Ebay.

As I have a CL, I thought the little scoop detail at the base looks nice,
so I bid on it.

Had a starting price of 99c. (no reserve)

I won it for 99c.

After all is paid for etc (bank fees cost more that goods!) I get an email stating the seller meant to list it for $99, and would now not
release the goods unless I negotiated a new price.

If it didn't sell for more that 99c, what makes him think he'll get $99!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As an Ebay "vet" I know you win some, you lose some. I have been lucky of late with wins on quite a few 99c auctions.

What do you all reckon?

For the record, I decided to be the bigger man, and finalised the transaction leaving +ve feed back on the condition he does the same. I'll say one thing though, if the bugger leaves neutral or bad feed back, I'm buying a plane ticket. [I have a very good feedback]

Cheers, Leakey
