I was told as a young man that your word was your bond and if your word was no good, you were no good. Words to live by. If nothing else I'll leave a deserved negative feedback.

I always thought it was "welching"..like the grape juice. Never realized it was a slight against people from Wales. I have been learned.

No slight or slur intended. I think the Welsh people are cool.
From dictionary.com:

Use of this verb is sometimes perceived as insulting to or by the Welsh, the people of Wales. However, its actual origin may have nothing to do with Wales or its people; in fact, the verb is also spelled welch.
I think I'll use the c version from now on.

Something similar happened to me once. They seller actually replied with "I cant sell this for what you won the auction for". Ebay did nothing. Ebay is a sham but until something better comes along it is a necessary sham.

The seller probably didn't get as much as he hoped and didn't want to pay the extra money for a minimum bid amount. I've had it happen many times to me...contact the seller, and watch if it gets resisted...then report the seller to Ebay

I've had to cancel auctions when I discovered problems with the item I was selling, like damage that I had missed previously. But I always promptly offered up a sound explanation and sincere apology.
There's something rotten in Denmark about this guy.

Well this just keeps getting better, just got this email from paypal;
Hello Dave Thompson,
The refund sent by Greg Worobets (gregworobets@hotmail.com) did not clear from the sender's bank. You have not received funds for this payment in your PayPal account.
Please contact Greg Worobets regarding this refund.

I sold a great Hall teapot on ebay 10 years ago. Guy bought it paid for it and as I was packing it I noticed a chip. I refunded him and messaged him. Back then it was all via mail. I got a positive feedback from the guy once he received his $ back. The guy should have messaged you, even if it was a bs reason.

I would contact eBay legal with a copy of this account, try to leave your emotions in check and just state the facts, you won the item, include item number, it was paid for by you, show PayPal payment and then seller cancels and supposedly refunds your payment, show payment did not clear from account sou are out the item and the payment, make it clear what you want to rectify this debacle, good luck.

Finally a reply from the miscreant Ebay non-seller;
Hi. I'm sorry I had to cancel the sale - I posted the wrong batch of pipes (these were my wife's dad's). I have to explain the refund, though. When I immediately refunded your payment (or thought I had), PayPal showed me having a balance of at least 3x that amount - I thought it was done. Then I saw the amount drawn from both my PayPal and my bank account (making me overdrwan at my bank). PayPal has not taken responsibility for this. I will, however, take responsibility for it and get the $60 to you by the end of the week - I don't appreciate your rush to discredit me on ebay, though. It's only been a few days and I am a very busy working family man. Cheers
Funny, I sense that it's me who should be apologizing, how rude of me.
