[QUOTE="Bartelmoose, post: 757994, member: 21313"][b]Nightowl's almost sorta right...[/b] The savvy thing to do is let the auction run its course and THEN negotiate your deal. You obviously run the risk of not getting the item if the auction has a "no reserve" feature. But when an auction is over, it's over. If the item didn't sell, Ebay still gets paid its rightful listing fee but not a final selling auction fee and the Seller is free to either re-list or not re-list. But don't use the eBay messaging system or else it's construed as a continuation of the auction. Once you're comfortable with a Seller, you can buy anything you want from them not currently listed on eBay. Of course, if you do buy something that isn't sold via an eBay auction you have none of the protections that eBay offers to protect Buyers; but if you use PayPal & pay via your credit card, you're doubly protected if things go bad.[/QUOTE]
