What would you do in a case like this? Your purchase is then re-listed

Ok, so I purchased this set of Buffalo nickels on eBay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/395867716383

I paid immediately and then later in the day see this listing from the same seller:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/395867905775

Of course I contacted the seller and have not received a response.

In this sitsuation, what would you do if anything at all?

    It looks like the seller has "sold" the same album twice already. Couple that with the feedback they have and I'd be pretty spooked. I'd be trying to get a refund, pronto.

    Seems a little shady.
    Low feedback seller...
    Contact eBay and get your money back.

    What were you looking at in this lot?
    I don't see much in the way of dates on the early nickels?
    What would make that set worth $300 let alone $500?

    Obviously the same listing, if you really wanted the set you could buy it again and get your money back for one of the listings?

    I run into this every once in a while. They keep raising the price until it stops selling. They should research what they own and price it accordingly, or accept their shot-in-the-dark quick sale.

    I'd stop buying from sellers with 83% feedback scores.

    I second that!

    If I could, I'd leave negative feedback.

    I would do an item not received claim with ebay, then leave negative feedback after I get my refund.

    Call eBay give them a heads up potential problem they will make a note.

    Very odd behavior.

    You should probably open a case to start a refund if you don't hear anything from the seller soon (which I'm guessing you won't).
