eBay tells quite clearly you that as a bidder you are legally obligated to pay the seller if you get a winning bid.
"Bidding is meant to be fun, but remember that each bid you place enters you into a binding contract. The only bids that are non-binding are those placed in the Real Estate category and for vehicles on eBay Motors. All bids are active until the listing ends. If you win an item, you're obligated to purchase it. "
I bid on an item and won. Minutes after the auction ended and I went to paypal and paid.
A few minutes later the seller sends me an e-mail and says that the item is no longer for sale. She said that thought she had removed it.
Should not the seller be equally obligated to deliver an item listed for sale which I am legally obligated to pay for AND DID DELIVER PAYMENT? Was this seller remorse in which she did not get the value she wanted and backed out? What recourse do I have?
