Re: What happened on the buyer's end.

: The seller, roughly 20 minutes after the original posting on this
: forum, messaged me to tell me that he erroneously priced the
: watch at $1800 when he meant to list it for $4800. Before I had
: the opportunity to protest, he cancelled the transaction and
: refunded the $1800, thus removing any ability I may have had to
: pressure him or contest what he was trying to do.

: We exchanged emails thereafter, but English is not his first
: language, and he's unaware of the rules that govern eBay and
: PayPal, so I was at a complete loss to resolve the matter. He's
: clearly speaking with others and I have no doubt that my
: purchase was cancelled due to intervening forces.

That simply sucks! I feel for you. So he wouldn't sell it at the $4800 "correct" price either? If you would buy it at that price, I would definitely protest to EBay, especially since you likely have that in writing.
