beware of "andananautions"

Subject: beware of "andananautions" From: Al Kossow <aek at bitsavers.org> Date: 2/2/14 1:40 PM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts <cctalk at classiccmp.org> wow won some manuals cheap, then sent a message to see if they would combine shipping. the seller canceled all of the auctions, and apparently there is no recourse from the buyer. 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?
