Ebay Problem

Mo - how dare you! Imagine...actually giving CORRECT advice to a poster - you should be flogged!

Bottom line is ebay just contact me, and there auction listing is not binding in anyway. If somebody doesn't pay you can't sue them you can just leave bad feedback. The binding contract I have is the bill of sale and it is correct.

That's not correct. The auctioning process does form a binding contract and a party may sue another party if he/she thinks there was a breach (happens all the time).

Oh, goodness. He took the advice of customer service reps. Let him listen to them.

From an ebay seller...

If I made a huge mistake like that in a listing, then I would have immediately offered a refund. I would not care about what was legal or not. I would care about doing the right thing. You seem to be trying to get away with as much as you can. Why? Just pay for the tires and resell it. And now you will be able to say the tires are brand new. Maybe you'll recoup the money for the tires, or even more than what you paid for them.

Whether it was intentional or not, you made the mistake and misled the buyer. Don't you at least feel a little bit bad for HER? How would you feel if the tables were turned and you bought a vehicle that was 5 years older than what you were told?

I guess if she had just start nicely by saying, this is the wrong year I want my money back. I would have done so, but due to the fact the first 2 emails I got where from her complaining that the cost of the tires were too much and wanted a refund I am less inclined.
