Quoted from Jean-Luc-Picard:Curious how often this happens and how other people handled the situation... I purchased a pin from a Pinsider. I paid via Paypal about a week ago. Shipping paid and they would be picking it up in about 2 days. This morning, I wake up to an email saying payment refunded. Turns out he claims he got cold feet and decided to keep it and asked me to cancel the shipping...
I understand, people change their minds. However, when it comes to making a sale, funds exchanged, setting up shipping, paying for shipping. When is it too late to change your mind?
That exact situation has never happened to me, but I have had supposed deals (buyin and selling) drift away like a fart in the wind. In your case, I think it's a little unseemly to nerf a deal when money has already exchanged hands but what are ya gonna do. I've never had a deal that far along go sour and I've been doing this a long time, so for sure not cool.
But Shit happens. Move on...there's always another deal. I'm not a big fan of starting up a drama thread when a deal never actually happened - save that stuff for bad deals, misrepresented machines, flat out cheats...Life really is too short and it will accomplish nothing. the sooner you forget about it the happier you'll be. In 16 years of doing this I've changed my mind a couple times as well and I've always been grateful that people haven't tried to make a capital case out of it, and I've been "the victim" more times than I can count.
You really NEVER should assume a deal is done till it's done, we all know that. I wouldn't make any dramatic moves (buying or selling another game) on the assumption that another "deal" I have is a closed case. Easy way to create space and money problems in your life you don't need.
