Just a quick one for you eBayers on here...

Bought an item off eBay, as a Buy it Now, it also said they had 10 items to sell. I paid via PayPal straight away.

Next day I get an email saying that the item I bought was not meant to be sold at that price, it was an error and something to do with been a Turbolister that automatically relists unsold items. They refunded me. But this item I really wanted, do I have any feet to stand on?

No

You could try, but despite you winning you'd probably not get it and end up with a dispute. There's nothing much you could legally throw at them, and if you did, chances are you'd just get a smashed up item come through the post

Had this last year with some Hi-fi separates. In reality what can you do? Paypal and Ebay won't be interested.

Guess bad feedback is all I can give.

Annoying thing is they removed the auction but its gone back online today for the same price?!!
