AFAIK the scam that is Columbia House can't touch your credit report because they don't have your SSN. They can turn you into a collection agency they use but all they can do is annoy you. I signed up for CH DVD club several years ago - my first shipment arrived with 1 of the movies in full screen format and the cover sliced on another movie. I called CH support and it took forever to navigate a maze of menus. In the end I shipped everything back and canceled my membership (or so I thought). FF to a few months back they send me a bill for around $100 because I didn't fulfill my membership. I called again but never found a way to speak to a human CSR. I sent them an Email but never got a response (or bounce). After some research I found a CH address to send these type of complaints to. From the stories I read this is SOP for CH. I sent them a certified letter explaining my situation and said any further bills would be forwarded on to the State of FL Attorney General. About 6 weeks later I received a letter from CH saying my balance was zeroed and my membership was canceled. Still, took several hours of my time to get everything taken care of. Short story: Stay away from Columbia House! Lesson learned here.
Oh, to the OP: Apparently you don't know it but you're an ass. Hopefully you'll get screwed over in some deals so you realize it.
Probably, but neither is bumping this thread. Touche.
And legally I am not bound to pay his relist fees unless he takes me to court. Until then I guess I will sit back and laugh at this thread.
He should have factored re-list fees into his accounting when he decided to list a "show car" that will realistically probably never sell for $12k.
Why? So we can continue to flood our courts with pointless lawsuits? You sir need to GTFO this thread.
don't worry about the naysayer asshats in this thread, OP. ignore the seller, and be on your way.
Resist the urge to shoot off nasty emails to him, and let him do what he wants.
I threaten my nonpayers with lawsuits as well and it works 25% of the time, i consider it free money since I get back the money regardless of what they do.

ROFL, facts:
1) I am not a "juvenile"
2) I am not above the law
3) go fvck yourself and gtfo the thread.
case closed.
The great thing about people like the OP is that the older they get, the less and less their mommies and daddies will bail them out out of stuff like this. Eventually this kind of behavior is going to catch up to you, dude. Grow a pair and start at least attempting to act like an adult, or your life is going to be miserable wreck due to your own laziness.

the idiot noobs in here spending their time googling info on the OP should instead be spending their time googling lawsuits against non-paying bidders....
He's just trying to rationalize his mistakes instead of manning up. Not once in this thread did he admit what he did was wrong.
1) You are 20 and made a 10000$ legally binding offer without having a job, asked your parents for money and when you didn't get it, stiffed the seller. That's juvenile. And that doesn't even account all the other posts you made in this thread.
2) No you are not, and that's why you are liable for the money. Worst case scenario if this goes up to court and the seller pursues the matter fully, you own the car and owe 10K. Unlikely but always possible depending on the judge. You should have thought of that before you bailed on a 10000$ bid that you couldn't uphold.
3) Score another point to being on the juvenile side =).

And associated service fees. As far as Ebay is concerned, an item of $10,000 was sold and they want their 2% off the top as agreed on by the seller. Not Ebay's or the sellers fault that the buyer ended the auction and entered a contract to purchase. If the buyer is lucky, the seller can convince Ebay that it was a dead beat bid and they will not charge 'end of auction' fees.

No, because you bought the car and didn't pay for it, plain and simple.
Go see what happens when you sign for a loan at a dealership or a sign a mortgage and decide you don't have to pay. Screwed for life. Be lucky this is only $200 and off the books.
FYI I've accidentally bought the wrong items on Ebay before after having two windows open and deciding, only to buy the wrong one by mistake. I paid or offered to pay all closing costs and relisting fees for my mistake.
Time to be a man and stop depending on your parents or your youth and ignorance to bail you out
If you're lucky, you and the seller can negotiate with Ebay on the basis of being a dead beat bidder and see if Ebay will refrain from charging the seller for listing and closing costs and in effect undo your bid.

1) yeap 100% correct.
2) not right. they will not make him buy the car. what the seller can do is now sale the ccare for $8000 and sue the OP for the $2000 diffrence and any fees.
3) what he is really trying to say is "Go find some good porn and release some of that tension! and don't come back until you do!"
Legally and morally you are entitled. Whether you get sued is another issue, but no mistaking it.. you are legally and morally obligated. You are morally bankrupt though it seems.
Interestingly this kinda follows with a discussion we had during lunch.
It seems the main question upon which a lot of today's decisions are based is not "Is this the right thing to do?" but "Can I get away with this?"
