Item ended early because 'no longer for sale'  :angry:

Only thing that's annoyed me before is when there is an item you are interested in, and there have been no other bids for the 5-8 days you've been keeping an eye on it, and then finally there is under a day to go, and you go back to the item to place a bid only to find they have extended it by another 9 days. Then you have to waste all those days waiting again.

But that is within the terms of service of ebay. Bidding for items outside of ebay is not.

Lots of people don't dream of asking the seller to end the auction early, and as a result lose out to those that do.
Also, I bet the greedy seller sees a cash offer and takes it, when it will quite easily go higher than that in auction anyway!

yeah, me too.
Or if you're selling and you've bent over backwards to help someone - accepting a different payment method, finding out the shipping costs to some exotic loaction, you make sure the item is really well packed and goes out the same day, and they don't bother leaving you feedback  :-(

Hi amigamad,
Heh, sorry about that. Great minds think alike eh?

I've just won an auction for a CD32 and controller (no PSU or leads), for £2.00. The postage for the item is quoted as £8.00.
I've emailed the seller three times asking if the item can be sent by any cheaper method but he has not replied. Which leads me to think that he wants to make money from the postage :-(
