It would seem that eBay users have drawn the short straw again with the announcement of Michael Jacksons unfortunate death yesterday. Anyone who bought a ticket directly from the Booking Line will be pleased to know they should expect to get a full refund onto the card they originally purchased with.

However for those desperate souls who bought there ticket via eBay or through a private seller will be “thrilled” to know they are now potentially out of pocket! They will probably struggle to get refunds from Auction Sellers or whomever they originally purchased from.

So in essence if you sold a bunch of tickets on eBay – I’d go out and have a beer tonight  because your about to get them all refunded and make a packet more. Unless your going to be nice and refund everyone.

If you bought through eBay I’d try not to loose too much sleep over it – rather next time you book to go to a concert go direct and save yourself a bunch on the ticket.

Either way – I could be wrong eBay may try to push through refunds, but I doubt it. That would be too much like hard work.

Cheers,

Anthony
