I'm sick to death of watching an item on ebay, and often bidding, only for the seller to take a cash offer, cancel my bid, and end the auction early!!!!


Was it the auction for the CD32 SX-1 module (on eBay UK) that you are referring to? I had it in my watched items list, and I noticed it was withdrawn with all bids cancelled over the weekend. I was interested to see what price it went for... obviously the seller got an offer he couldn't refuse (doesn't make it right though!). I'd never dream of doing that with my items, I even include the text "Don't ask me to end auctions early!" in all my item descriptions. I used to get about half a dozen requests per auction, usually for the rare items.

Steve.

i found this on ebay New Folder for Windows XP Home / Professional the link is here windows xp folder


28 bids... currently at £10,000,000.00!!! :-o
The funny thing is that the winning bidder will be legally obliged to pay for it.

I don't understand though, the seller has 172 positive feedbacks, 100%. Why's he doing something like this??!!  :-?
