Is is possible for us to make a private listing to solve it?

Or has the seller the obligation to ship the item for 1 $?

thanks

Ouch.. Sellers are responsible for their mistakes but can't force a seller to complete a transaction.

 

If a compromise is possible , seller can file a cancel transaction which you would accept when ebay asks.

 

Seller could then set up a Buy It Now for whatever is agreed to. Ask seller to use your ID as title and email the item # when listed.

 

Honest mistakes do happen.

So, you mean a seller does NOT have to honour a sale?  Wow.  Do they get a mark against them?  A buyer who doesn't complete a purchase sure does.

 

If I walk into a store and an item has a price tag of $1, the store IS obligated to sell it to me for that, even if they meant $10.  Yes, some will try to wiggle out.  And, as a nice Canadian, I would let them.  But I hope they won't expect to see me back.  Likewise on eBay.

 

Now, if they really meant $100, then I would be honourable and let them off the hook.  Fair is fair.  BUT, I would expect them to give me a discount.

My guess is the item in question exceeds $100.

 

As i said , sellers are responsible and and buyers can leave negative feedback and low DSRs that really hurt sellers. The outcome depend a whole lot on how the seller handles.
