Why???   I fail to see what they did was wrong.   They bid and won on an item listed on ebay following all the rules.  They then take their new property and re-list it for an amount they feel is fair.  I'm confused, what did they do that was wrong?

It seems like people on this thread are whining because they got outbid...
-P


If that's what he's doing, buying and then immediatelly reselling it, then I agree. While annoying, there's not really anything wrong with selling something you rightfully own. Though it seems off that the people buying from him later didn't outbid him in the original auction and then are later happy to pay more the second time around for the same thing... If they aren't willing to outbid him the first time, why does he succeed in this practice, why does he have a buyer at 3x the amount? Weird...

But I first interpreted the OP as having said that a seller cancelled a finished auction and put the same item up for sale again himself, being same seller each time. And that sort of thing should be reported and feedbacked.

Havent had it happen for amiga stuff specifically but for plenty of other items. The one time i emailed the guy asking wtf, he responded it was "listed wrong". Of  course the new listing was 100% identical.


Then sick the copyright pigs on him. If he didn't write the original full description, then the original seller that did should have some rights to that. And since we all know copyright is the ultimately most supremely important thing in the known and unknown universe, (heh, rip ACTA) then he'll spend the rest of his life in jail for reusing the word "the".
