I bought a Seaward RCD tester RC750 with case on *bay yesterday (£20). ![ThumbsUp :-+](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/icon_smile_thumbsup.gif.pagespeed.ce._JElyJQqdB.gif)
Was sitting there -no one wanted it and the seller had re-listed it several times over the last months.
Yesterday I bid the minimum price, was the only bidder and won (~£32 including shipping). Paid instantly.
This very morning I find the transaction cancelled by the seller saying it's no longer available because it was water damaged in the meantime.
I can't really believe that this is actually true because the seller didn't proof this e.g. with photos nor give me a chance to react to this information -perhaps (he couldn't know) I would be still interested in the device? -In fact I am -because there's not much to get damaged -no ferreous parts in it that could rust away. I would try to repair it. ![Rant :rant:](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/rant.gif.pagespeed.ce.koOB_HE-VX.gif)
I'll try to get an answer from him before I try to give him negative feedback. ![Undecided :-\](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/undecided.gif.pagespeed.ce.cCZ6w-jWpR.gif)
That's a bummer. I experienced that only twice. Where is the seller from?
Thank you for your support.

The seller is from Great Britain. Doesn't help actually since...
If he is from continental europe, tell him right away that you'll initiate a criminal procedure, as you suspect fraud. The worst thing that could happen is that the case will be closed. The advantage is that it doesn't cost you anything. Except maybe a personal trip to the next Kripo office specializing on business and E-crime. Precinct cops might try to weasel out of it.
..I got my money back and the "only" thing I'm pissed off is the fact he cancelled the action. So police won't do anything about it since I can't proof that he's a liar.
Secondly *bay has a link to the cancelled auction that reads as one could veto the cancellation but in fact following it there's nothing you can veto anything.

So I don't do anything about it cause the hassle isn't worth it. Sad but true.
As I already wrote: Money saved for the next RCD Tester to come.
Always look on the bright side of life..! ![Smiley :)](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/xsmiley.gif.pagespeed.ic.R8GFI-pF6f.png)
