Of course you're right. I read about this about a few days ago and forgot that obvious point. So in that case she lost exactly what she deserved and I would have had no qualms about doing that to her.

I would have done it and not think twice
NIIIICE!!!!!!:rock:
Thats a witty answer to the problem of someone backing out of a deal and as long as its legle im all for it. after all its ebay not a car dealership.
A friend told me about this story a few days ago and then we spent the next 20 mon discussing the morality of his actions (yeah I know lame friends) I think it's a great story and love the ladies reaction. Id like to ask her what the fire department is going to do in a case of eBay fraud though.....
language is a funny thing - you can use either of two words with an opposite meaning, 'got' or 'lost', and not alter the meaning of the phrase :)
IANAL, but it seems that agreeing to a sale over a phone is different from a bidding bid on ebay, ebay claims the later is a binding contract, though I'd like to know how enforceable it is.
She got what was coming to her, and imo the seller didn't do anything wrong. Winning an ebay auction is a binding contract. You can't back out without a solid reasons. Buyers remorse is not one of those.
He only tricked her into keeping her promise. Nothing more.
That is awesome. That is one of the best ebay stories I've ever heard.
