seller relists item I bought
I would like some suggestions, today(Sat.) if possible. I was winning bidder on an auction(GB) which ended last Monday the 25th. Since then I've sent two unanswered emails, gotten the seller's contact info and called him(number disconnected), ran a phone search and dialed the number listed there(no answer and no answering machine). Upon returning to the page for the item I bought(pistol brass), I discovered that he had relisted the item, with the ending to be Monday evening. I have almost no time between now and then to keep calling his number. I have no negative feedback and have paid quickly for the two other items I've bought, so I can't believe that he is refusing to sell to me -I have to believe an honest mistake was made somewhere.Perhaps there's nothing anyone can suggest, but I thought maybe that with all the experienced buyers and sellers in this group, someone would have an idea that I haven't thought of.Thanks for your assistance.

Have you sent money? If not this may be a blessing in disguise. Most brass I've seen on GB can be bought cheaper retail. Sounds like you have done all you can other getting in touch with admin. If you are the winner of the auction your link to his feedback should be viable. Try leaving feedback on his sight and make it nasty, so anyone reading it will refuse to bid or retract their bid. Leave out the 4 letter words. As a second thought, leave your feedback in such a way as to leave open the possibility of an honest mistake. I think he may have not gotten what he wanted for it and it sounds like he is ignoring you. He may read the feedback himself and get in touch with you.[This message has been edited by oneshy (edited 03-02-2002).][This message has been edited by oneshy (edited 03-02-2002).] 0 -
Thanks. Of the two dealers in my area, one doesn't carry brass and the other has tried to get it(in my caliber, .44 mag.) and can't.I may simply leave feedback telling potential buyers not to bid on item #_________, since I bought it already.Any additional ideas out there? 0 -
I think that's your only recourse. www.midwayusa.com has some good deals on once fired brass. I just got some 40SW in and it is ex. about 90% Win. They also have honest shipping chg. 0 -
bwaIs it possiable he has more than one of the item he sold you? I only ask because as a seller, when I have more that 1 of the same item I usually don't list them all at once. I commonly use the re-list function that is offered to sellers rather than re-write the ad and re-load the same photos.As to why he hasn't contacted you, I dont know what to tell you ... if he ends up giving you negitive feedback, you can do the same if for no other reason than to explain your position.

A lot of times sellers have thousands of cases and break that down into lots of one hundred. Check his past transactions to see if he sells a lot of brass. 0 -
If he has listed a second lot under the same number as some of you have suggested he might have, I'll just have to keep emailing and calling until I reach him, and explain that I didn't know that that was done.Thanks for everyone's help. 0
