won some manuals cheap, then sent a message to see if they would

the seller canceled all of the auctions, and apparently there is no

read his reply for yourself.
this is the first time in 5000+ ebay deals that someone backed out
after asking for combined shipping.
beware..
his 'justification'
Dear al_kossow,
1. You won several items yesterday.
2. I sent you an invoice for the total amount.
3. You emailed your disagreement over the terms of your purchase.
4. Therefore, we do not agree over the terms of the transaction.
4. So I filed the appropriate request to cancel the transaction with
ebay.
Now, you have suddenly changed your mind and claim that your purchase
was a "Binding Contract"?
Sounds like you want your cake and eat it, too.
First, you engage in feedback extortion to try coerce me to lower the
purchase price.
Then, when you did not get your way, you attempt to compel me to go
through with the transaction.
Unfortunately, when you expressed your disagreement over the terms of
the sale, it was obvious that there was no meeting of the minds in
this transaction. As such, there is no contract. We both agreed to
cancel the transaction and that is ok. I am sorry you were
disappointed in the terms. I have refunded your paypal payment. You
are whole.
I am just curious as to where else you can buy something and then
negotiate the terms of the transaction.
After you have filled up your gas tank, do you then ask the gas
station for a discount?
That tirade was a response to a simple request? Someone must be off
their meds...
I am not a lawyer. I have heard that it is not legal for them to do so.
At least not in the USA. Might be against ebay policy. You should at the
very least report to ebay.
