I don't know what all this talk about mistakes is. Sure, people get busy and move quickly. But these are adults and no one needs to hold their hand in my opinion. You make a mistake, you own up to it. I see nothing reasonable about wanting to get out of a deal because you didn't know what you were doing.

+1. It seems like the seller moves a decent amount of product and in this case, a valuable card slipped through the cracks. If I was the buyer, I would be pretty pissed off if the seller tried to reneg after the transaction was completed. I'm pretty sure that if the OP didn't raise the subject right away, the card would have already been shipped.

That was a mistake on my part, I was browsing the sold listings when I saw
it on the second page. It usually takes two or three days after the sale for it
show up. I had just made a purchase from this seller who shipped the card
the next day. If I had known the card hadn't been shipped I would have waited to post about it.

Very interesting topic.

I might be missing something but...

IF there was an error in the listing...Why didn't the seller contact the buyer within 12-24hrs of the auction ending about the error? IF that was the case, I would think, they would promptly do so, to inform the buyer since it is a $1,200 error. In fact, how come the buyer hasn't been contact yet..still..??

Like I said, I could be missing something...but how does the buyer even know the seller made a mistake until the seller contacts the buyer?

Did Net54 really step in to stop this transaction from happening?

It seems to me, that the seller was ready to ship the item since he had already paid for the postage and printed USPS label off eBay...

Not only that, he left buyer positive feedback three days after the transaction-no mention of error.

My feedback I leave is automated...once a buyer pays for an item the system automatically leaves feedback for me. Perhaps that's what happened in this instance?

That could be, Dan. I just noted that the feedback occurred three days after the BIN was hit, and apparently the error was not spotted or the seller still allowed payment and for feedback. I assume that even if feedback was automatic, he could take steps to change it for a specific transaction, but I don't know.
