Apparently, this can be a common scam among second-hand sellers. When this man won a bidding war for a brand-new pair of headphones, he was ecstatic. That is, until the seller promptly messaged him to tell him that he had dropped the headphones, so he could no longer sell them. Then he urged the man to cancel the order. The man, of course, wanted to see the damage to assess if he really wanted to cancel the order or not. The seller filled him in that he'd be getting the headphones repaired and then most likely keeping them for himself. Then, crickets. Apparently, a of people have had a similar thing happen to them. What commonly happens is when an item sells in an auction for lower than the seller was hoping, they'll cancel the order and relist the item for a higher price, giving some sort of excuse to get the original winner to cancel the order. We're not totally villainizing this seller, but check out the comments to hear other people's stories so you know what to look out for!
