Intesting Auction Site Practice!!!! Read and Learn - Namir - 12-07-2010 Hi All TAS Bidders, I bought an HP48GX with accessories from TAS. The seller emailed me asking if I would buy for $15 more a cable for the calculator that he did not include in the auction. I wrote back saying no thank you since I already had several such cables. Next thing I know I get a message from PayPal saying the seller has refunded me my money. I wrote the seller asking why and he said he wanted to re-list the item to include the cable! I called the auction site by phone and complained about this kind of practice!! They said since I was issued a refund, they could not do anything!!! So here is a new rule that will fly by TAS!! YOU DON'T LIKE THE SELLING PRICE, THEN REFUND THE MONEY AND RELIST IT. IF YOU CAN LIVE WITH JUST A NEGATIVE FEEDBACK THEN YOU ARE FINE!!! Namir PS: TAS knows that I am sharing this message with you all!!

Re: Intesting Auction Site Practice!!!! Read and Learn - Namir - 12-08-2010 It was a Buy-It-Now auction, which I promptly responded to. I was able to leave a negative feedback, but could not open a case (due to the full refund). As far as TAS is concerned, that's all I can do since the seller refunded me my purchase. My feeling is that the seller felt he sold the items for a low amount.

Re: Intesting Auction Site Practice!!!! Read and Learn - Martin Pinckney - 12-08-2010 Yes, inquiring minds want to know. Since, even with all its issues, AFAICT HP is still the best of what's out there.
Re: Intesting Auction Site Practice!!!! Read and Learn - Allen - 12-10-2010 Namir, This sounds like seller non-performance issue. You should be able to dispute on those grounds.
