This one went surprisingly low. Maybe due to summer heat?

I was the winner. I paid immediately after the auction closed yesterday. Seller canceled the sale today, with a lame (and very likely bogus) explanation that his "wife had decided to give my jacket to their son." I'm sure that the real reason is that they weren't satisfied with the winning bid amount, and decided to keep the jacket rather than honor the contract.

I contacted eBay to complain about the seller, and they are "looking into it" but the bottom line is I'm not going to get anything more beyond my money back.

Due to the exchange rate fluctuation, I am out $16.24 USD, because I paid out $407.13 yesterday, and am refunded only $396.83 today, although the amount in Euros in both cases was 356€. In USD I am short $16.24. Ebay referred me to PayPal, who tell me they have no control over exchange rates and cannot do anything, I'm just out the money as the do not hold the exchange rate from the original date of the transaction, and the amount in Euros that was refunded to me was "correct".

So, I'm quite pissed off about this, and Vincent Michel ebay ID licorne2011 owes me MY jacket.

Bummer! Do you get to leave a feedback?

No, when a sale gets canceled, there's no opportunity.

Update: I found that I could leave feedback, and have done so. For some reason eBay "hides" canceled items from your Purchase History page, and I didn't see that I could still leave feedback until I left feedback for something else I bought, and saw the item there.

I keep looking at the P2P and imagining it reads 23. Then rationalizing that if I stretch the jacket a bit it would hit 23. My next Cal will be one like this.

I know exactly what you mean but sadly, no way, man. That's a clean 21", 21.5" tops. And those jackets have quite a taper. My Cal, which is exactly the same sans belt loops measures 22.5" chest stretched and it's still super tight.

I agree. Then I think I can wear it unzipped lol. Crazy thinking.

BTW, your version of this jacket is nicer. The leather looks thicker and looks to be in better all-around shape. Though this one is nice.
