Ok...here ya go.  Let's talk about something besides Obama.

My wife really wants a Moissanite ring on ebay.  

She won a bid on one but I get bad feelings from the seller and they only offer a blurry picture and claim today when we asked for better ones that their camera broke.

Question is this... If I feel I am getting scammed, how can I back out of a won bid and not get negative feedback?

Thanks.

I thought sellers couldn't leave negative feedback for buyers anymore

yes, you CAN NOT receive negative feedback anymore from a seller. However you did enter a "legally binding contract" to purchase the item by winning it.

Sounds shady though.. What was the sellers feedback like?

Seller can file a non paying bidder complaint and your can  get your account suspended on ebay. I dont think they do this the first time.

If their feeback is good you are probably fine. If they indeed have less than great feedback I would simply tell the seller if they "cant" produce a better picture, you "cant pay"

Don't bid on something that you don't intend to pay for.

That's how.

Find another auction and don't deadbeat on this one.

Pay for the item. When you receive it, if it is not as described return it. If the seller will not work with you on a return, file a "item not as described" with paypal. Anyway you look at it your covered.

Sellers cannot leave negative FB for a BUYER anymore

the only thing they can do is give you a non paying bidder strike, you wont get banned unless you do this all the time.

Why are ebay buyers suddenly unsure AFTER they bid. Jimminy Christmas on a shoestring!

1) Pay for it (using PayPal funded with a CC).

2) If it isn't as advertised resolve it with the seller.

3) If seller won't play, file claim with PayPal.

4) If PayPal won't play file claim with CC company.


Finally, if you have *any* questions regarding the item description or whether the seller is a dirtbag––-FIGURE IT OUT BEFORE YOU BID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
