oh Boy, switching the pc (also Win7 to 10) is like switching boots. Your old pair is comfy but also messed up, but you have learned to get along with the faults, while the new pair looks nice, is water proof but very uncomfortable :problem:

I **** hate selling on ebay so much.

Message from a winning bidder:
Hey so the bidding in the beginning was going great and people were being reasonable with the bid and some guy upscaled it and ruined the bid, I think it was like at 85$ then he shot it up to into the 300$ just to ruin the bid for the rest of us and plus I didn’t want you to have to deal with scammers, is there a price we can talk about for the toy? And I’ll pay immediately afterwards
He's offering me half the final price like he's doing me a favour and all I can do is open a "buyer has changed their mind" case. Can't leave negative feedback. He won't even get a slap on the wrist. Second chance offer made but they're rarely accepted in my experience.

I wouldn't mind so much if you could at least say "you are a **** ****" without getting negative feedback.

I'd link him to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auction though
and plus I didn’t want you to have to deal with scammers

Cancel the sale, blacklist him, relist with added note in description for the reason.

I had one recently where a proxy wanted to return an item for an "unintentional purchase".

I've a few where I send a fully working item but it somehow developes a "fault" but buyer is not wanting to send it back instead asking for a partial refund :problem: it's like a auction/hackle on a buy it now.

And another...
Hi j.oey,
I wanted to apologize for not being able to purchase the tails sonic the fighters plush. I'm nineteen and a die hard sonic fan but just had my son born and I can't spend the extra $ on some retro merch.
Sorry for the inconvenience and hopefully you will allow me to bid on more auctions you post. You have a great collection!!
- Garrett :)
Man, Garrett, that's a shame! If only you'd had some warning this would happen, like 9 months or something.

Congratulations on your imaginary child. :)
