I don't care for sellers who don't honor their sales agreements. Having said this, I'd much rather they tell me the truth, as the seller likely did in your second example.

The seller with the "coffee" excuse is absolutely pitiful. Either they're flat-out lying to a customer or they're destroying Mantle items with coffee. I'm not sure which is worse.

As far as excuses go, it is rare, but I have misplaced cards only to never have them turn up again.

I will give a different view point. It is a eBay transaction for a baseball card that didn't happen. It's eBay anybody can cancel any transaction as a buyer or seller for ANY reason and the other party can't do a damn thing about it.

Why waste time and energy on something that simply doesn't matter. Same goes for leaving negative feedback. Maybe .01% of eBay buyers care about feedback. Weirdly those that really care about it are usually the ones you want to avoid. Not much worse than somebody messaging multiple times because you have not left them useless feedback.

I can't figure out why the hell everyone worries about a buyer does this or that or a seller does this or that. Sometimes you just gotta say WTF and not worry about it.

I would say I am worried about it because I wanted the card and purchased the card and then did not receive it. That seems to be like a fair reason to be bothered, particularly when the reason seems hard to believe.

I wouldn't call a seller deciding to not sell you an item you already purchased a "this or that" issue.

Guess I'm a dinosaur, then. When I see dozens (or hundreds) of negatives, I'll scroll through what others have written.

Let's say, for example, the seller has accumulated dozens of negative reviews regarding careless packaging. I'd probably pass on buying something fragile. Why tie up my money and then go through the time and hassle of documenting/returning something? Easier for me to sidestep that odyssey.
