Hello, I placed a bid on a listing and won the item. When I was about to confirm the bid, I had to confirm my commitment to pay this amount if I won.End of the auction, I send the seller a message, no reply. The next day I try again, same thing. Two days of ignoring me then.Luckily I find the same listing on the **bleep** (same city, same photos) and I ask if the item is still available. The seller replies in 5 minutes that yes, the item is available.I then explain to him that I had bought it from him on eBay. He expresses surprise, saying that the product is not listed there. Then he tells me that it was his brother who posted the listing without telling him.We talk and the seller refuses to sell me the item at this price because the winning bid is too low for him! Very responsive, he ignores my messages when I tell him that this doesn't suit me. I have all the conversations.I can't open a dispute on the site before a week has passed.For me this is harmful because I made an additional purchase that is useless without the one the seller refuses to send me.I should point out that I have already paid the sum of 450 euros via PayPal on eBay.As a buyer I have the contractual obligation to honor my price offer and it seems to me that this is also the case for the seller in the absence of a minimum bid.What steps should I take? Thanks in advance for your help.
