Odds are the seller is not going to sell you the item no matter what you do. There’s only one real reason for the seller not to ship the item to you, and that is because he probably doesn't have it to ship. If the seller wanted more money for it he could have put a reserve or started the bidding at the price he wanted. In a situation like this you may be better off taking the refund and issuing a negative. If the seller sends you a refund, don’t mail it back, the seller can refuse to sign for it and it’ll just be sent back to you. And also the seller can say “Hey I never received anything from this guy” and poof, there goes your money.If the item is worth the fight, then I do have a few suggestions. If they send you a refund in the mail don’t send it back to them, hold on to it, don’t cash it or deposited it, if you do the seller can argue that you agreed to a refund. Issue a negative FB and report the seller to ebay, let the seller know you will do this and if necessary you will take them to court. Unless the item is worth thousands of dollars the seller will say F’it and ship you the item to avoid any problems. However the seller can just claim he sent you the item when he didn’t, item doesn’t show up, “Oh, must have gotten lost in the mail, let me issue you a refund”. If the seller wants to he can be a real a-hole and dick you around for a while, but if it’s worth the fight do what you have to do.Jeff-<div align=\"right\"><a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=234589\"><{POST_SNAPBACK}></a></div><!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndI see what you're saying JDF. I know the person does have the item in hand. This person has been a collector for a while and I know alot of the small inventory they have. I do believe the excuse that her husband argued with her for selling it and told her to refund me. I got it for a good price and they both know that and they both know they could've made at least $300 if not more on it. That's not my problem, that's theirs. The item isn't worth thousands but it is something that I wanted. So no matter if it was 5 bucks, if I paid for it, I want it. Sometimes you have to settle for a refund but I hope it doesn't come to that. Collectors know who she is and MM con goers know who she is. If she wants to ruin her name throughout the community, so be it. I am going to wait for her reply and give her the chance. She might have a change of heart and do what's right. I don't want to jump the gun until I see what happens.
