Details: | Bidder evidently bid under username melissa5224. I cannot tell for sure, because the same day she bid, she closed that account, or transferred it to a new username - melbowers5830. The starting bid was $69. Twenty minutes after she bid, I received the following email: "I am sorry but there has been a horrible mistake. I did not bid on this item. Perhaps my acc't has been hacked. But I have never bought art on Ebay. There are days left on this item but I wanted to give you advance notice that this is not a valid bid. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Melissa" My response (and I highly recommend sellers take this approach) was to say, "Ok, well, you can cancel your bid." You made a mistake or are a victim of identity theft, no problem, take care of the situation, then. It's not on me to take action, is my feeling about this type of thing. I sent three subsequent messages over the course of a week to her, indicating that I was waiting for her to cancel her bid. On my third follow-up, I made it clear I would let the auction run its course and then leave negative feedback if she did not take care of it herself. Finally, that last response motivated a reaction the same day. She said she did not know how to cancel her bid, but within the time that I was drafting a final follow-up, she figured it out. It's not hard! There actually is zero argument I can think of for asking, or expecting a seller to do it through passivity. So, here is the crux - she had bidded the auction up to $75. Which means she was putting a maximum bid on there and possibly outbidding underbidders, then maybe (?) had buyer's remorse. Her reason logged with eBay for canceling: "Entered wrong amount." The premise that she was hacked makes no sense. Who wold bother? A disgruntled ex? Would the hacker have changed her ship-to address? Would they have camped out for three days near her mailbox to intercept the package? She seems completely full of shit, and I called her out on it. The piece had four other watchers, so I feel totally vindicated. |

The seller is in breach of ebay contact by providing customer detailed. The seller can also be sued for giving out personal information. Ebay has done this before to seller who uses this site. Been providing all buyer who personal information leak to eBay. So ebay can take action on this site and the seller.

Only anonymous user names have ever been shared in this post, and perhaps she chose a user name that had her full name in it, but there was no detailed info shared - no location, no personal email, etc. Only her suspicious multiple account user names were revealed here.
