OT - guess I didn't really win that Probstein auction

[tschock]

Due to an ebay glitch, eh? Sounds sketchy. Assuming it was an "ebay glitch", the seller should have no problem providing you the item number for both listings, right?

As packs noted, I would imagine the auction ID is the unique identifier of the listing, though not seeing the code, this is only a guess (though an educated one).

I would recommend to move on. I have spent far too much of my time fighting such things and the results have been trivial at best.

Requesting refund, leaving a neg, moving on. Life is too short.

I thought about posting pics of the card; however, ultimately decided against it. The cert # would make it easily identifiable. There's a chance this wasn't the seller (or consignor) changing their mind after seeing the hammer price. I'd hate like hell if it really was a "glitch" and my post threw shade on the person who's currently holding the card.

Still...it sucks to win an auction, get a great deal, and have someone force a mulligan.

I'd open the dispute, take the refund and move on. Maybe it was an innocent mistake, maybe it wasn't, but I don't think there's a whole lot that can be done. It's disappointing, but at the end of the day, you won't be out any money and unless it was a very rare card it will come around again.
