I'm going to the spurs rockets game on wendsday, and its a rip. Not so good seats are 26.50 + conveiniance fee = $31 a ticket.
I found some on ebay, and as its the only way I can get tickets that cheap. I put my max bid in. 2 different 1 feedback wonders come in and bid it up past my max, to the next smallest max. I NEED these tickets at this point, or else I will have to miss the game, so I outbid him with 3-4 seconds left and win.
I checked a few of the sellers history items and one of the same accounts is in use bidding up all of the items. The only feedback he has on one of the accounts is from himself, so basically this guy forced my bid against me on his own damn auction, and cost me alot more than i hoped to spend.
I sent him an email telling him what I thought about this before the auction ended...
Quote:
In the auction it expressly says I can pick up the items to save on overnight shipping ($15) and no guarantee to get the tickets in time. He emails me saying that picking up the tickets is fine, and gives me a total. I Paid the given total on paypal.
Last night he sends me this email.

who knows that thats about. I had already paid, and I am not about to pay another $15 for shipping after he agreed both in auction and in email that I could pick them up for free.
I sent him an email saying if he did not tell me when and where I could pick up the tickets by tommorrow at 5 then I would take drastic measures against him. (paypal complaint, ebay former complaint about the bidding, and negative feedback)
Can a more experienced EBayer let me know what my options are at this point or give me any help as to how to solve this problem???
*note I know i shouldnt have sent the accusing email if I planned on buying his tickets, but I got a little hot headed*

Dear rockyriles, Its against EBAY policy to bid on your own item. You could at least be a little less obvious about it. If no one else outbids you, I'll still be here. |
