fraudulent seller

Placed bid for 4 items from a seller,then received a message from "another seller" offering 2 items what the first seller did'nt have.The first seller through messages openly admitted they had passed my details to the second seller ????? I contacted E-BAY as I was,and not happy about this and tried to cancel my bid/offer,but now have a non payment case against me. As far as I'm concerned this is a case of "fraud" and corruption.........E-BAY are still allowing this seller to trade as E-BAY are only bothered about making money...........sooner it gets sorted the sooner i get finished with these clowns..............a well peed off e-bayer

It isn't fraud at all.

 

It sounds as though your seller may have thought they were doing you and the other seller a favour. It may be a breach of eBay's privacy policy but it certainly ins't grounds to refuse to complete the sale.

 

Just pay for the items you've bought, and let the second seller know that you don't wish to purchase the other items. Or maybe you do wish to buy them, now that you realise it isn't fraudulent.

 

If you refuse to pay you will receive an unpaid item strike for each item. I'm not sure whether eBay will only treat this a single strike, as they were all for the same seller. This is important, as if you receive two or more strikes most sellers will automatically block you from bidding.
