I won an item on a Ubid auction for a very good price. Several days later Ubid informed me that they did not have my product due to a "warehouse discrepancy". They said that I could wait a couple weeks for more to come in, or accept a $5 coupon for my trouble. I got a very good price so I chose to wait.
Several weeks later, I see that they are again having auctions for this item. A couple days later they inform me that they "do not have the ability to fill this order" and are canceling my transaction, and they once again offer the $5 coupon. The $5 will not nearly make up for the difference in what I won the auction at, and what the item usually sells for, so I persist.
I reply "There must be a way to get me my product. You have the product in stock. You are selling the product everyday. I don't understand why you are trying to cancel my completed auction, rather than sell one less of the item tomorrow." They inform me that "Your order has already been cancelled on 5/20/02 and you have been issued a $5 coupon for the inconvenience"
It make me wonder if they just don't want to honor my transaction because of my low winning bid.
