Well DUH, most of the shit on ebay was bought from another store.
This woman sold something DIRECTLY from Wal-Mart, pretty much. Dude, I know you guys love to tell people "HAHA! Sucks to be you. Better luck next
time" (and rightfully so) but does this shit seem okay? How would you feel if you got dicked out of $30 like that?

I'd say the OP's best hope is to make herself such a nuisance that the lister gets fed up and refunds the money. I wouldn't, but some prefer a
quiet life.

I would understand your point, Morgan, if she hadn't disclosed her business practices. But she did."Direct from distributor" ... I mean, I see you guys' point but that bitch is a straight snake.
I wonder what would happen if the OP filed a complaint to Wal-Mart. (Like they'd care ) but... this is some greasy shit.

Wal-Mart's "cut" is what the lister paid them. Once they have taken her money the item is hers to dispose of as she wishes, which includes selling to the OP.Sure, that's with anything but I want to know did the ebay seller already HAVE the comforter or did she buy it AFTER she sold the listing on ebay? I think that makes a huge difference. |

Not to mention the "a gift for you" card that said, "Thanks for your business" I missed that part. Oh snap. I'd be pissed, too. It might not be illegal but it is sneaky. Unfortunately there are a lot of dickheads on ebay. |

sellers, I know that much. But I think the biggest thing is that the 'distributor' is freaking Walmart.com! But like I said, I could see what you guys were saying if this seller ALREADY OWNED the comforters and then sold them for a ridiculous price. I mean, I understand what you're saying now...it's just that this is SO wrong.

Maybe it's just me, but if someone on eBay said that the item was coming directly from a distributor, I'd automatically assume it was coming directly
from the store or a company, which is what happened here.

I want to be on your side but the auction says "direct from retail distributor" right in there. I saw it immediately in the terms. Don't people
read everything or what?
This reminds me of the time I was selling some blush that I tested once with a Q-Tip and didn't like. I marked it as used, I mentioned it was used in the auction (and I gave every detail about how I tested it but didn't touch it, etc) but Ebay cancelled my auction because you can't sell used makeup. Totally understandable. When I contacted the high bidder she was like "I wondered why it was cancelled!" so I told her it was because the makeup was technically used and she was all "oh, I didn't even notice!" People who don't read make me hate Ebay. I don't think it's fair to give negative feedback when you didn't pay attention to the details, but that's just my opinion. |

It's your fault for not looking up your options. She really didn't screw you out of your money. You made the decision to spend that much.

LOL you all are ridiculous [well not all haha]
It says on the bid page about it being shipped from the retailer, or whatever [too lazy to go quote] - you should have asked what the retailer was or looked around more when you were shopping. I see nothing wrong w/ what the seller did - people do stuff like that all the time - it's EBAY! Not everything sold on there is already owned by the seller, haha. People make a profit from the buyers being too lazy or too careless to look for the items themselves or to go buy from the store instead. |
