Poll: How to handle $$ miscalculation in a trade.

[lmcconne]

I don't trade in $$, but I vote the seller absorb the miscalculation. If there had been some miscommunication, that would be another thing, but no such claim seems to apply in this scenario.

Both parties certainly should think long-term if they are in it for the long haul. Does seller want to get a reputation for changing terms after agreement is reached? I don't think so. Does buyer believe the original price cited to be fair and acceptable?

I agree the seller should eat the cost. The mistake is the seller's fault and should have calculated better in the beginning. Besides that if you already sent the money as stated you did your part.

I agreed with seller should eat the loss.

This is an older post, but since it is still going, I will weigh in as well.

In most cases, I think the seller should eat the loss.

If the price discrepancy was a big one or if it is a seasoned trader & brand new seller and it was clear that the amt charged was way low I would hope the veteran trader would coach a little and say that is really low.
Otherwise, thats just not ok to do.
You cannot force the seller to send for the price quoted, but you can sure leave feedback based on the trade.
