Members JRicoC Posted July 27, 2010 Members Share Posted July 27, 2010 Just go through with the deal. You offered the item, the other party paid. There can be regret on either side of any transaction; it goes with the territory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fuzztone Posted July 27, 2010 Members Share Posted July 27, 2010 What is the reason that you changed your mind about selling your guitar? Well it doesn't matter. Just send him a refund right away and say sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vargus Posted July 27, 2010 Members Share Posted July 27, 2010 go through with it or get bad feedback possibly. its not good to pull out (jokes pending) or you might have a real hard time selling again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brian May Posted July 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 27, 2010 Well I was in two minds in the first place....it was a simple case of a reluctant sale through financial need...but since then i've simply thought i should just borrow the money and not lose the guitar i love. I've never even thought of doing this ever before. Damn I'm so annoyed with myself on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlbonehead Posted July 27, 2010 Members Share Posted July 27, 2010 Expect a negative, and less action from bidders if you list anything again soon. You certainly shouldn't escape w/o a negative. After all, feedback is supposed to be a tool used to warn potential bidders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members flummox Posted July 27, 2010 Members Share Posted July 27, 2010 It's nothing. Contact the buyer, explain. 99% of the time he/she will be cool about it - especially since "buyer's remorse" ought to be setting in about now anyway. Refund their money, apologize and above all, waste as little of their time as you possibly can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members notjonahbutnoah Posted July 27, 2010 Members Share Posted July 27, 2010 {censored} dude, that is such a dilemma. Guitars you LOVE are hard to find, and it takes so long to truly know. To part with one is a tragedy. So you could lie and say you broke it or it got stolen..... But that's evil. Bad juju. My money says if you did that you wouldn't be able to play it w/o feeling guilty. Either choose good or evil OR send the dude an email, the most honest factual report you can muster up. Don't pour your heart out, just explain and ask if he'd accept a refund. Just make it abundantly clear that you are still cool to sell it, don't put any guilt on him, see if he'd take a refund and if not, happily and graciously send it to him, you are under a contract.

Members Orange Jackson Posted July 27, 2010 Members Share Posted July 27, 2010 As much as we hate to think it, a guitar is replaceable. You can get another one that feels as good, if not better then the one you own/ sold. Consider this a lesson, and that is the price you pay, loosing a guitar. From here on though you will look at that guitar and think of the guy whose time you wasted with your flip flop, if you keep it. Give it a kiss, pack it up, and send it on to it's new owner.I think you will feel better about yourself if that is what you do, and that's worth a lot.

Members fanblade Posted July 27, 2010 Members Share Posted July 27, 2010 If you don't go through with your commitment, you will be a lying cheating deceitfuldouche bag, who can never be trusted to keep his word.....ebay won't trust you, your feedback will go down.....if you tell anyone of this story, at best you will be considered wishy washy and not able to make a decision...any girlfriend you get will never trust you... If there is a god...you will go straight to hell...and while my Dante's Inferno is a little rusty, one of the rungs in hell is reserved for people who go back on their word....people sent there for punishment are assigned to a big black guy wart infested ex con who specializes in busting out little punks like you....Satan will have to give you an anal transplant everyday, just so you can get raped again the next day... Or if you don't care about any of this {censored}....refund the buyer his money, tell him you changed you mind, he's probably a lying homo like you anyway....and keep your guitar..

Members yorgatron Posted July 27, 2010 Members Share Posted July 27, 2010 this is precisely why I don't use ebay anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flummox Posted July 27, 2010 Members Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'd say about 90% of the time it will result in a negative, which it obviously should. Nope. Most people are pretty understanding if you explain the situation and return their money ASAP. Everyone who does a lot of business on ebay has to back out of an auction sooner or later. I've done over 500 auctions and I've had to do it twice - the last time was for a piece of outboard I couldn't locate the @#$% wall-wart for. It happens, and people have done it to me, too. The only time I ever neg anyone is then they cost me time or money, neither of which is at stake here. It's just business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
