Default Ebay seller to avoid.

Hey Gang,
So a few days ago I offered a seller $40 on a Brian Sipe auto which is about the going rate and he turned me down and told me he wanted to see what the auction would go for if he let it rid. No worries i get that. So we fast forward to today and i get a email telling me the auction is going to end in 14 minutes and it has no bids. His starting bid was $19.10 so I placed a bid on it and won it for $19.10. I get ready to send payment and the seller canceled the auction saying the item is no longer in stock. So I contacted him and this is what that went like. Read from the bottom up:

His name and ebay id is:

His name is Jamichael Thompson
His ebay name is jamithom_57


You should have been smart and took the offer when I gave it to you the first time.
jamithom_57:

Should’ve been a man and went with your 40$ offer instead of tryna low ball people
Your previous message

It wasn't an offer I won the auction and your feelings are hurt because you didn't get what you wanted. We will see how people react.
jamithom_57:

They gone laugh at you ���� you mad cuz I didn’t accept the offer o well bro suck it up man up get your al bundy drawls out your but and find another sipe
Your previous message

Hope you don't sale on sites and social media because I'm posting this everywhere. If you wanted a set price you shouldn't have started it at a price you wouldn't except.
jamithom_57:

I’ll jus pay the fees bro sorry
Your previous message

I dont care if there were a 100 watchers its an auction that is how they work.
jamithom_57:

I know your frustrated and I apologize but I have children to feed as well can’t jus give my item away be cause ppl don’t bid on eBay there was 12 watchers
Your previous message

But you didn't and I won it. Thats on you and not a valid reason to cancel the sale.
jamithom_57:

Thought I had a reserve on item sorry bro
Your previous message

I made you an offer you said you wanted to wait to see what you can get. I watch the item and win it for your staring bid and you cancel it saying its out of stock that is shady as hell man. I will ge filing a report with ebay.

I don't know why you felt the need to even get in a verbal fight with him.

What a waste of time.

Your right it was a waste of time talking to him. But I wanted to find out why he really canceled the auction and now you all know.

I’ll never understand this. I’ve sold stuff below market and been bummed. But if someone got a good deal, good for them. I’d never tarnish my reputation for a few bucks. Or even worry about it.

Kids to feed? If it’s that dire why are you buying sports cards?

People.

Right we have all took a hit at one time or another its part of the game. But what gets me is he thinks that me going public with this is a joke and I would be the one that gets laughed at by posting it up. This is the type of person that this hobby does not need.

My brother and a few others said the same thing. If he has children to feed why is he spending money on cards.

I just went through this same thing.

The only thing to do is leave him negative feedback so others are warned and don't waste time with him. (Don't worry, he can only leave positive fb for you.)

It feels bad for ab 5 mins but it's the only way to correct the problem. He will learn from it, too, so it helps him in the long-run. (Negs only last a year's length in regards to the fb%.)

I cant leave feedback because the auctin was canceled. But I did speak with a representative from ebay over the phone and after telling them what had happened and them looking over the messages it looks like he will be loosing his account.

Maybe it's just something I notice, but every time someone posts a 'back n forth' like this from eBay, the grammar is atrocious. I'd be embarrassed to post something like this. Both of you sound like complete idiots. Goodness gracious.

If the auction ended w/ you as the winner then you'll be able to lv fb. It just may take a day or two for that to become an option.

The situation kind of sucks, but we're talking about a football card. You leave some negative feedback and move on with your day.

Threatening to blast him all over the internet for something this mundane. Come on dude.

Wise, I noticed that you're one of the oldest members on ebay so maybe you will have some influence with the ebay reps, but I do agree with XFL -- just lv neg fb and move on. Tomorrow's a new day!

Grammar aside the back and forth makes you both look bad.

You know why he cancelled. He knows why he cancelled. Put him on blast here and elsewhere so others know to avoid and move on.

Now you both look bad.

You can leave feedback. There's a tutorial I don't have time to look up now but there is a way to see canceled sales and then leave neg feedback from there.

On your purchased items...scroll way way way to the bottom past everything else. Thats where cancelled items get buried...so yes you can leave feedback.

And no chance he loses his account...
