excuse the dumb question but I have had several bidded items cancelled despite paying them in advance, the sellers each asked me for proof of payment despite bidding on them. one item imparticular is quite rare and im very interested in it, i know my rights as a buyer to not give into their demands for another payment but it feels like theyre either scared to keep owning the item or they do not want it anyway but wont ship it until i give them extra? i try to avoid bidding on items for this reason but these past few bidded items i really desired to own or wear. i even paid for it before they made it into a bid and i was the only bidder on this one item now suddenly im being asked to pay again??? it feels like a trick question tbh for the dramatic effect yet i dont get why i cant just own it already since google seems to say u have bought the item when u have won it? anyone else had this issue lately? I had someone snitch at me in the messages just because I wouldnt give them an extra payment.
