in new zealand i listed an item for sale on sella and it sold but i did not see i had listed it for $1 and item is worth $250 and a guy won it for $15 i did not even see it got sold till i got a very rude email from him today swearing and being a dick ect.



and i said to him i get 50+ email a day so i must have missed your email and i listed the item wrong i'm sorry i wasted your time. (first time i listed something wrong too)



and now he is going to email sella and get my details and call the cops.



i'm not worried i just want to know did i even do anything wrong ?

    So would you expect someone to honor their sale if they were in your place? Your mistake, your problem, either honor the price it sold for or suffer whatever consequences might come.

    Yep, I agree. If you won a $250 item for $15 and you got an email saying "sorry, I listed it wrong, you cant have it", how would you react to the situation?

    This is what I don't get. You didn't know you sold it until he randomly started swearing at you? Why whould he sear at you for no reason? Espeically if the guy won a 250 dollar item for 15 bucks... Oh, cuz you did actually know it was sold 15, and told him it was a typo after the fact that he won it and THAT's why he got mad.



    Look, I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but it's just what everybody else says here, you got to honor your sale, man.



    On a positive note, just think of it in long terms: If you told him that you made a mistake and gave it to him anyways for what he'd won it for, he'd see you as someone who is honest and makes mistakes and would probably want to buy from you again and again, more over someone else because you've given him good business and trust.

    It sounds like you dropped the ball several times here. If the item was worth so much why did you start it so low or not put a reserve price on it? You're probably bound by the terms of the site to sell the item for what it ended at. It's up to you how you go about it but don't expect to sell as much or at all again if you don't own up to it. If you're going to opt out then immediately refund the individual and expect the worst.

    You scammed him from the auction, basically. You started an auction at a low price to avoid a fee, it didn't sell for value, you threw a hissy and didn't honor your auction or something along those lines of not selling the item somehow. Terrible thing to do.

    Yeah you fucked up and now your being a douch about it....man up show some honor and stick to the price it sold....its not the other guys fault you fucked up that's all on you

    Sorry to say man but make good with your word and honor the transaction



    second (not to sound like a dick but I'm going to) it sounds like you're trying to get sympathy from the collectors community to use in your defense. As collectors here we all want that awesome $250 find for $15.



    I'm not questioning weather or not you made a mistake in your listing but I would question a person's Sale ethics if they didn't honor the sale agreement.

    I am assuming you sold this on an eBay type of site...??? You have two options in this situation, either honor the price and send the winning bidder the item or do not send the item and take a negative feedback. This is a pretty cut and dry situation.
