ebay
A similar thing happened to me a year ago. Can't even recall the card, I
asked the seller a question about it and he replied. The card ended- a
true 7 day auction that didn't get a single bidder. He relisted and, rather
than restart at a more realistic price/try to sell it, he increased the price.
As a buyer who uses that venue less and less, my single biggest complaint
is that ebay sellers often (not always!) come to the convenient conclusion
that basic business concepts don't apply to them. For example, this very
issue. Also, not accepting returns, insisting the buyer has to pay for
extra insurance/signature for the "protection" of the seller (?!?!), slow
delivery, claiming ignorance about the product they are selling ("I'm not
comfortable answering questions about the card, I don't know much
about it"). They basically beg people not to do business with them. Lots of
these clowns abandon basic concepts associated with good service, and
have the nerve to balk when you question it. Gross.
