Selling stuff you don't own (eBay)

[Jorn]

I won an auction on ebay for two rear lights for my Volvo 780, both lights were on a separate auction. After a day I sent him an email with the question if I can pick them up and that I will him cash, this is his response:

"I am very sorry to tell you this but this car was at ecology wrecking yard and i took pics and put them on ebay only to find that when I went back, they were gone. I am so sorry and did not mean to mislead you, I did not think they would be gone that fast."

Would you let it go or leave the guy negative feedback. I'm sort of pissed because the guy sold something he never owned and I did let another auction for the same lights slide...his feedback is 100% positive.

I googled his phone number and this came up:

"Guy was selling a car, but his story was kind of funny. The name he told me was not the same as the one on the car pink slip & registration; he also told me he was a handyman but then later told me he was a loan officer. I suppose he could be both."
