Here is the reply that was sent to the seller after he claimed that "there was a mistake":
Dear Brian,
I fail to see where there is a "clear mistake". Your listing was very detailed and had a buy it now price which I clicked. As a result, I accepted your offer to purchase the vehicle at the asking price and pursuant to Ebay rules, I expect the transaction to be completed based upon our contract.
I just noticed that you relisted the vehicle despite my purchase of same. That would appear to be the only "clear mistake" that has been made - your breach of our contract by your failure to deliver the vehicle upon which we had a valid sales agreement under Ebay auction rules.
Or perhaps the "clear mistake" was, and is, your failure to mention the prior accident and body repairs contrary to the listing in the auction/s. A prior owner confirmed a rear end impact and the bumper was replaced. However, it also appears the rear driver's quarter was replaced due to the absence of a vin sticker on that side.
Additionally, it appears you have had many other Ebay transactions and, as such, I am sure you are familiar with the following prohibitions:
"
Backing out of the transaction due to buyer or seller remorse
Backing out of the transaction because buyers didn't place a high enough bid and the seller didn't add a reserve price"
Your refusal to complete the transaction and deliver the subject vehicle violates both of the foregoing Ebay mandates.
Moreover, Ebay requires "sellers and buyers to follow through with the sale in good faith." Your failure to deliver the vehicle is an act of bad faith and is actionable.
Please provide the necessary paperwork to effectuate transfer of title immediately and cease and desist for any and all efforts, including but not limited to the current re-listing, to sell my vehicle to another buyer.
