He completely tainted the whole listing... Having second thoughts is all well and good but they bid like well over a dozen times... So not right....

That "your bid is a contract" is a lot of malarkey. They don't enforce it, and AFAIK, they never did. Even if a buyer ends up 'winning' the auction, they can back out with no punitive consequences from ebay. It is a shame that they let people get away with that sort of thing.

I could care less about sellers pulling stunts, I can just never bid on their lots again..... That guy was @$!#/^& with me for no good reason..... Who the hell trolls an ebay listing for an old piece of rock..... Go troll espn.com's message boards or something.....

It's not like he just dumped some silly max nobody was trumping.... It was very deliberate... At least the guy on uk ebay that skews every coti listing being excessively bullish is actually paying...

This is all new to me. It definitely makes me think.

It proves how their screwing with the feedback system where leaving anything but a positive is damn near impossible screws our ability to screen buyers.... And this guy won't get a non paying bidder strike to boot so that filter you can turn on for 2 strikes in a stretch of time loses teeth...

I am so po about it.... It was such a time waste. Especially since I let other listings slide as I was keying on that end date. Obviously, someone could have dropped some savage snipe at the end but he screwed with any ability to strategize...

Out of curiosity how did you find out all of this

Like that seller is so flustered he is considering stopping with ebay sales. He has had a lot of problems with buyers... It's sad because it isn't just him and that is much needed supplemental income for some ppl in this world

I messaged him demanding an explanation like any sane adult would do. To his credit he was very straight up. I think he even says that in the new listing in q and a... There was no going forward as it was anymore, at least not for me... I was completely exposed

At least now I could just put a solid bid and if I decide I want to put the Saturn 5 rocket on the launch pad for the moonshot I can without feeling like it's futile
