I asked why I was provided a refund and was told that the set was lost. It was only a $20 item. Another set was selling for about double the price, so if this seller had remorse, it was only for about $20. I am reserving judgement at the moment, but suggested in another message back that I hoped the seller was being honest and didn't in fact decide not to sell the item over sellers remorse. I have not received a response yet.

I just don't understand how anyone selling an item can lose it, especially if it was photographed. That means you are using an older or stock photo and didn't bother to check before listing said item, you are insanely disorganized or you just don't want to sell the item after all.

This has happened to me as a seller. I archive my scans of for sale items at image event so I can potentially pull them from anywhere as needed. When it comes time to list an item for sale I usually check my inventory list and the scan archive but sometimes I get lazy and just go with the scans. Occasionally, I end up listing something I sold but did not delete from the archive. Happens.

I doubt anyone would pull a remorse on a $20 loss.

As for the OP, this Jimmy Allen sounds like a crap seller. Jimmy Allen. Jimmy Allen from Georgia who sells on eBay. But I do like the velvet Ali...
