Wow, this one tops my cake....

Had an auction end yesterday for 2 Scooter Tucker baseball cards. As normal I send the EOA but when the person finally responds he said:

"What I'm getting is 2 inline scooters, right"

Now the title of the auction said:
"1993 Donruss / Scooter Tucker / #60" (Yes, it was in the correct catagory) and was selling for .02 (I know, a really big sale).

So I send this person a little note saying that it was for 2 baseball cards and what do I get back? A one liner email saying "Oh, I didn't know"


Now my question is this, What do I do? I have a feeling that this is a kid who opened a new (zero feedback) account with Yahoo for this auction and I really don't feel right leaving a neg. Should I anyways if this person doesn't follow thru with there end?

Okay, so this is an auction for 2 cents?! And the person thought they were getting a scooter for 2 cents?

Obviously this is a complete newbie. I think I would be inclined to relist and let it go if they didn't come through.

Just my 2 cents.

Don't leave a neg, just relist and move on. ALSO, DON'T CANCEL THE BID, even if the sale doesn't go through, since it helps your "sell-through rate".

Thanks to both and have an outstanding evening.

mhodge99 Hi again! Things are chugging right along. Sales are getting better and better and I hope that the real buying season gets under way soon.

I sure am glad that I have found Yahoo this year. Yahoo has really been adding features during the time since the "only a dollar" fiasco.

I'll tell you what, while most of the buyers I have "contact with" are really wonderful. There are those I am so GRATEFUL I will never have to deal with "face to face"!

mhodge, ROTFLMAO!!! That is just hilarious.And I thought MINE couldn't read!

I agree with the general consensus, have a good laugh, resubmit, and don't remove the winner.

SSSooooo,

I finally got a final response from this kid.....

I had emailed him/her and stated that I figures that they were not going to honor the auction and for the sake of all other sellers please read the auction description in the future and what do I get back?


"Pretty Much"

That's it, 2 words and nothing more...


Moving on and placing in blacklist



Mike
