Q: Can I pay for something in full and the seller take it back without my permission and compensate me for it. Do I own it
I paid for a item on EBAY a 1934 US $1,000.00 bill for $3,355.00 in full I owned it. Can the seller not send it to me and take it back without my permission and compensate me for what I paid for it. Not the value of what the item is really worth, it is worth more than I had paid for it. I feel I owned the item once I paid for it. And the seller then stole it from me and is reselling it for a higher price than what I paid for it back on EBAY again. Is this grand theft and a federal crime of selling stolen property across state lines since I was the owner and I live in Florida and they are located in New York and the seller is more than likely going to sell it to someone not in New York where they own a business.What is Florida law on theft of property. Did I own this $1,000.00 bill to do what I wanted with it? Is an EBAY sale a contract between parties also? I buy and sell on EBAY a lot and never had this issue of someone taking back something I paid for and owned.
