I don't know if beware is too strong of a statement, but maybe don't try any transactions with this person unless it's officially on eBay.  Dfaber7025 feedback of 260.

He had a Snape costume card that he had listed at $199. Cindy LMK of it a couple of days ago, but the auction had already expired. I contacted the seller and offered $165 since it was listed at $199 and the auction states that "no offer is too low".  He countered with $185 and I accepted, with an additional $5 to cover shipping and insurance. He wanted the money sent as a gift, but I didn't feel comfortable with that and sent it as a payment so I would get some sort of Paypal coverage. Now he sends me an email saying he got charged $6 for the trasaction and he's also having to pay ebay fees for the listing, so he want's an additional $10 to cover it.  Plus, I see he's already listed the card again on ebay.  I told him to pack sand.  It sucks, but I'll get one eventually.

The big question is: Did you get your money back?

Oh no!  What a jerk.  I wouldn't have sent the money as a gift, either.  What eBay fees does he mean?  If he's talking about the ended listing, that's not your responsibility, and the relisted item shouldn't have any fees at all.  I think he's trying to get as close as he can to his original $200.  Did he refund your money?  With any luck, the final bid for the auction will be less than $100, which is what it should be.  Too bad you can't leave him negative feedback.

He sent me another email stating that he sees my point and he mailed the card.  He gave me the tracking #, so hopefully it will get here.  If not, I'll be disputing the transaction. I need to go check ebay to see if the auction got pulled. Oy!  ::)

He ended the auction.  I was surprised to see that he doesn't live all that far from me.

Tell him, "I know where you live.", if things go south.
I don't think that eBay will support you on aclaim because they say the this kind of transaction is against eBay policy...yadda-yadda-yadda, etc.

Let us know how it turns out.

I got it today! Whew, that wasn't easy, but I'm glad I have the last card I needed for my costume collection. I'm done!  It's kind of sad, actually, I accomplished my goal.  ;D

I feel a lot better that you received it.  I was worried for a while!  Congrats on reaching your goal. :D
