At the same time I am thinking that if I do receive their payment and ship the package that they will just chargeback on their creditcard and I'll be out of the shipping costs and items. To be fair the person has good feedback, but the attitude that they show in their last reply kind of throws me off.
As an eBay seller is there any options that I have to back out of the transaction?

Regardless, if Jason were to do that then he would be stuck with three magazines and either have to relist them or throw them away.It would be like going into McDonalds, asking for them to take the pickles off of your Big Mac and then wanting a discount for it.
thehiddenone wrote:Okay nine mags. The fact is if the buyer doesnt want the three mags. Why cant the seller in question not ship the 3 mags that the buyer doesn't want, so that the buyer gets a slightly cheaper shipping price. I fail to see where that is asking for a discount from the auction total. If the seller in this case also doesnt want the mags, have him throw them away if he doesnt want to relist them on ebay.

Kingofpain89 wrote:For me this is about principle. If he wanted to ask questions about getting a discount, the buyer should have asked before the auction had ended...not after. Then if he didnt like the answer he just doesnt bid.This is pretty much standard for all Ebay auctions and most sellers will state to ask questions before bidding to avoid these issues. If they dont it should be implied.

Look at it this way, if a seller from Canada had up an orange b3, a lost tomoachan, a mono ghost tower of inverness, and a never before touched 1st print woodgrain set along with an encyclopedia set for a $10 buy it now. Don't you think that you would be asking the seller to not ship the encyclopedia set along with the other stuff that you wanted? Granted my example is extreme, but it outlines the exact same case that is occuring here. I still can't understand why a seller would force a buyer to take something they don't want if it is simply saving the buyer on shipping costs. I wouldnt go for reduced auction price thing that the buyer mentioned, but as I stated above I can't think of any reason why a seller wouldn't take the deal for not shipping everything for the same auction price.
