First, hello to everyone at CP, I hope all is well. I know I have not been around for awhile and I hope everyone is having a great holiday season.......
I was going to post this in the Buy/Sell/Trade section but since it is not an actually a transaction, I thought here would be the most appropriate place.
My question has to do when a Seller drops a price on some items they are selling multiple items of after someone has already purchased one (or more) of them.
Let me set up the scenario. This was not anything that happened on CP, but I wanted to get some thoughts and feedback from the folks here as I trust this community's opinion.
Seller posts several samplers (mixed cigar samplers) for sale all at the same fixed price. I contacted the Seller and told him I was interested in two of the samplers at the asking price. I made payment via PP, he confirmed he received the payment and is sending the samplers out. This all happened within hours of his original posting. I have not received the cigars yet as this just recently happened.
Literally less than 24 hours later he reduced the price of each of the samplers by $15 each. So the difference to me is $30.
I am conflicted how to proceed. Should I say something? I know people do drop prices when things don't sell, but this was less than 24 hours from his original posting. This was also not a case of selling multiple, different items and dropping the price of one of the items because it was not selling.
Should I wait until the packages arrive?
I know this is not a retail situation, as I would contact the retail for a credit.
Should the Seller be contacting me to offer me something?
Any thoughts on how this should be handled or if this has happened to you....
I tried to do a search to see if this has been discussed before, but could not find anything (that could be do to my searching skills.......).
Thanks to everyone in advance.
