Order placed on this little beauty.
So the order I placed on this was a bit of a hassle. I purchased it straight away via eBay, but then the seller told me that an urgent family matter has occured and that they'll have to close their shop for at least a few weeks, perhaps even over a month. I asked for a refund, which the seller then asked me to cancel it on my end to make out I no longer wanted the item, that way the seller wouldn't recieve negative feedback on his "stellar" feedback so far.
I did not agree to this, and asked him to simply refund me if he cannot send the item. He did so but he set the refund reason as that the buyer no longer wanted the item. Of course, I had to report that to eBay to state that this was not the reason at all, that I wanted the item but this seller won't send it.
I told the seller that by doing that, it could look poorly on my account as a bad buyer when all I did was pay for the item in full hoping to get it sent to my address. He then apologized profusely and tried to bribe me by saying he would send me a bunch of free stuff that I don't care about. I told him as such, but I wanted the item so I simply said that when his family matter is resolved, to let me know so I might still purchase the item.
Then a couple of days ago he messaged me saying his store is still closed and is still away. What he failed to realize is that I can see what items he has listed and can see his feedback and also I can see sold items via the search. As a result, I could see that while his store was "closed" and he was "away" he had sold 3 other consoles, had packaged and sent them out, and had already recieved positive feedback when they had got it at their addresses.
I do not know what his agenda was, but I told him that I didn't believe him, and provided the proof. He has not responded and I've since blocked him. Since I did get my refund, I found a cheaper listing and purchased it, from someone more trustworthy.
