Ebay Question

OSClabs

Here's the deal...

I purchased an item using the BIN option ($130) per the seller's request. He tried to change the invoice to the amount we negotiated ($100). Unless I'm not seeing it, PayPal will not allow me to edit my payment to the $100. I assume he should have changed the BIN before I purchased the item to prevenmt this issue. To avoid breaking any Ebay TOS, where should we go from here?

If anyone can help me out, I appreciate it!

Thank you,
Danny

He will either have to send you an invoice through Paypal for 100.00 or both of you fil mutually to end the transaction then he relist it for 100 BIN. He should have adjusted it before you bid.

OSClabs

Leias,

That's what I thought. I'm asking him to cancel the first auction and relist with the lower BIN.

Thanks!

Or you could pay the $130 and he could refund you $30 through paypal.

But even better, have hime give you a $30 partial refund on the transaction through ebay. That way nobody has to pay fees on the extra $30

OSClabs

Lee,

I didn't know that either, good idea.

Thanks again!

Remember...If you have him relist it, the poor guy is going to have to pay listings fees, final added fees, and paypal fees all over again.

the seller just needs to send you a revised invoice for the agreed upon amount. this is done thru ebay, not paypal

Why don't you just send him $100 through Paypal and not bother going through eBay's automated payment process?

No he won't. First seller has to file UPI on the buyer stating they mutually have agreed to cancel this transaction. Next Buyer AGREES to it, seller closes "dispute" he gets his fees back, Buyer gets no UPI strike. Seller can now relist the item and if is sells which it would the listing fees on the relisted would be refunded. Paypal fees would not be involved until the buyer actually pays.

It would be easiest to go to Paypal and send him 100.00 or have him send you an invoice through Paypal. Easier and a lot less complicated. With the relist option there is that risk to you that someone else could swoop in and grap it for that price.

OSClabs

Ok,

I gave the seller his options so we'll see what happens. He's telling me that he can't change the Ebay invoice from $130 to $100. Maybe he'll figure it out. I told him he will save by changing the invoice to reduce his Ebay fees.

Thanks for the quick help!

Leiascards

To reduece his Ebay fees I think he will have to file the UPI using the method I stated and relisting. There used to be an option for item sold for less than bid price, but I don't think that is available now.

gstarling

when you pay with PayPal, there is a spot for modifications. just put in -30.00

Leiascards

Its not always on the Paypal thing. It depends on how the seller has their stuff set up, my invoices cannot be changed.

OSClabs

Gstarling,

PayPal would not allow me to deduct anything... I tried. He must have it set-up to prevent this.

Your right, I realized my mistake after I posted. If the payment has been made, just give a partial Paypal refund. If not just pay directly through Paypal and bypass the ebay system. As others stated, those are the 2 easiest ways to go.

You can not do it, he as the seller must give the partial refund.

earlycalguy

it's very easy - the seller sends a revised invoice. on the invoice the seller has a spot for seller's +/-. he subtracts the $30 and sends a new inoice and you pay that one.
