I purchased an item on eBay and could not pay for it as the merchant's cart would not accept my payment. I sent the seller an email and got an email back late the next day with a link to the broken cart! Tried to pay again and of course it still does not work. Sent a dispute to eBay asking them to remove the item from my cart as I could not pay. Response, we cannot do that. Sent the merchant another email and this time they suggested I buy the item from their website. I'm not about to do this, since the item still remains in my cart on eBay. I sure don't want to get dinged for two items once this merchant gets my credit card #. I get a third email from the merchant asking why I haven't paid and I explain AGAIN that their cart is broken. I also told them their wasn't a chance in hell that I was going to pay for this item since they could not get their act together and that I had bought elsewhere. I also offered to refund their listing fee.
Of course now I've got an unpaid item dispute from the merchant, despite offering to refund his listing fee. Being an asshole, I reported him for trying to sell to me outside of eBay. (His email). This second dispute to eBay was as useful as the first. eBay seems to be replying with script 1A for question 1Q.
Any advice.
