I guess I'm old school. When you put an item on eBay in an auction and the auction closes, you pay if you are the buyer even if you have buyer's remorse or remember you had already purchased the item earlier and if you are the seller, you ship it even if it doesn't bring what you wanted. Anything else is B.S.

I have lost ONE card in about 20 years of selling on Ebay. I refunded the buyer, and it eventually turned up 4 months later.

I've lost two. One got under the inside box flap when I took a bunch of stuff to the post office. But the buyer was just plain nasty, and had left me a negative without even contacting me about a problem. It was a $3 old weightwatchers brochure... Once I found it, I figured eh, whatever. Put it back in the pile to age another few decades. I did change how I handled the packages.

The other one was an item I had in my store and totally misplaced after 3-4 months. Someone bought it and I couldn't find it. Lots of apologies, refunded, and had hunted for it for a couple days.
The buyer was understanding, and pretty nice about it all. I found the stuff almost a year later, I checked to see if she was still interested and in the same place and just sent it to her for free, along with a couple other ones from the same series. (Disney lenticular postcards)
