I find a item for sale, "morgans for melt value" about to go for far less than their value so I check it out, everything looks good so I bid. But, before the auction ends the seller cancels all bids and cancels the auction. He then preceeds to repost them. I email customer dis-service and advised them of my issue... their response "There are many reasons why a seller might cancel a bid". Now, I realize that there are reasons to cancel a bid. However, this person is clearly abusing eBay's TOS. Further, he has my blood boiling! I have bought and sold on ebay for years - some times I win, some times I lose... Anyhow, I mailed customer dis-service back and said I hoped they misread my comments - that the seller was clearly in violation of the TOS and asked them to review it again. I offered to wait several days before addressing this topic anywhere to allow them to look into it. They have not, so, I am gonna cry about it a bit   07-18-2009, 01:05 AM   #2 (permalink) buzzard Brilliant & Circulated   Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Houston, Texas Posts: 41 My Mood: This happened to me and the jerk refunded my money and turned around and relisted a silver eagle   07-18-2009, 01:14 AM   #3 (permalink) TheNoost huldufolk     Join Date: May 2008 Location: Michigan Posts: 4,281 My Mood: All ebay cares about is their fees. __________________   07-18-2009, 10:20 AM   #4 (permalink) jmon Numismatist In Training     Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 188 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by TheNoost All ebay cares about is their fees. I thought the same, and pointed out that this person was avoiding reserve fee's... that didnt seem to matter much. I guess they figured they were making more from the listing fee's.   07-18-2009, 09:55 AM   #5 (permalink) kanga 50 Years and Still At It     Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 2,589 My Mood: Just remember, never use the words "logical" and "eBay" in the same sentence. And probably not the same paragraph. __________________ ANA Member APS Member ARA Member There are 10 types of people: those that understand binary, and those that don't.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
