I wanted to buy a video game for my son and placed a bid this afternoon. Only when I got the item a little later did I realize that it is a Japanese game, which does not work on my son's console. My son can't do anything with the game. So when I placed my bid, I was mistaken. I explained this to the seller and asked to cancel the purchase. Without giving any reason, he refuses to cancel the purchase, which is why I challenged my declaration of intent (placing a bid) to him in a message on the grounds of mistake. Therefore, in my opinion, no purchase contract exists anymore between me and the seller. Can he really demand the purchase price from me under these factual and legal circumstances? What if I simply do not pay? I think that is not fair business behavior Cancellation no.: 5422476920 Item no. 267495995537
