I contacted the buyer, they gave me another address which still didn't work, I told her and she didn't respond back for 4 days and neg'd me. 3rd one I had some office phones up on
Ebay, the bidder bid 1 cent on them, I sold them locally which I stated I was also selling locally, and if I sold them locally I would cancel the auction, I sold them locally, and I couldn't cancel the auction, refunded the guys money, and told him sorry about any inconvenience.
I took the the server down, I'm gunna be parting it out. Thanks for the advice guys.
Those are all things you've got to deal with Kochy. Not knocking you, but patience in life is a virtue, on Ebay it is a requirement. No speaka de engris? Use a translator if necessary. Printer don't print, use a pen. (always use the address listed with the payment If they don't know their own addy, who will, but complaints to ebay/paypal will be in your favor) Reserving the right to sell locally at the same time it's up for auction doesn't seem like a good idea, possibly using a buy it now price and selling to first buyer could suffice.
Whether it's on Ebay, or in a "brick & mortar" there's always going to be customers who'll need handled with kid gloves, lest you wind up with unhappy customers and a bad rep. Past that point it just doesn't matter who was "right", your name will take a smudge
Good luck getting that worked out man
