If you only 'accepted', the item was still available for purchase.
If you 'purchased' you can take action with paypal or ebay.
I'd be ticked too but if you didn't purchase through ebay you don't have any recourse.
Hope you find something you like or the same iron
I responded to his email and accepted the price and asked him what I needed to do next to purchase it. That's when I didn't hear anything back.
I understand that the item was still up for grabs, but what upset me was, to my way of thinking, and the way I would have handled it, would have been to contact me and tell me he had another offer and ask if I was still interested in it at the original price since I was the first one to make a bid on it. Just seems like that would have been only common courtesy.
