Thus far, I've never had a problem with any seller on there and have 100% pos feedback...
So the auction is a copy/paste type deal and is offering any size. I didn't read the small print but apparently there is a line that asks you to contact the seller to check inventory before bidding. Check inventory before bidding?? Kind dumb to list an auction for merchandise you don't have...not really an auction then, is it?
Anyhow, sure enough, I get a rude e-mail saying I'm an asshole for bidding without checking stock but if I am willing to wait, they'll send the item once they get more inventory in. (when?!)
I replied with some copy/paste of the auction rules and how they shouldn't be listing items they don't have, regardless of their "contact us to check inventory" line and asking me to wait without even offering an ETA is not exactly by the rules. (all polite) They have to ship within 30 days but even that is only for order-made shit...the rules basically say they can't take money for items they don't have, then order/dropship them.
They reply back that they will get a shipment in next week but I need to give them my bank details so they can refund me minus all the transfer/auction fees and shit.
I reply back with, in that case, ship the item, I'll wait.
Another reply saying they no longer want to do business with me and that I need to give them my bank details so they can refund me minus all the transfer/auction fees and shit.

I just replied with "So if you are refusing to honor the auction, I can take that as a full refund, including the fees?"
Honestly, if I could cancel the payment through the Yahoo Kantanbarai system, I would...but apparently that's not possible and it's lame to get hit with 600+ in fees for an incomplete transaction. WTF...
Anyone else ever deal with an asshole seller/buyer on Yahoo Auctions?
