Legal situation of ebay in france

Greetings fellow collectors, I have a problem:

I made a comparatively good deal buying a game from a french ebay dealer.

Problem: One hour after I bought and payed the game the dealer unilaterally booked back the money, then immediately put the very same item back up for a much higher price. He technically never even cancelled our deal via ebay. He is obviously trying to weasel out of the deal because he wants more money.

Now my question:

Since the dealer is french and ebay is notorious for ignoring user complaints I would like to know if there are verdicts form the higher french courts that condemn such a practice in case I want to threaten him with legal action. I know that there is one from the german BGH but this obviously doesn't count for france, so I would like to ask if there is something comparable.

Thanks for your admittance!

You should be very disappointed but as far as I know, there is no law for such case.

Even if it is possible to start a legal action, I m afraid you will spend a lot of money and time for nothing

France doesn't have a legal history with shady selling practices? Or even ebay? At least some district court should have had said something about this.

best thing to do is contact ebay and explain the case, i hope you will find a understanding person
