I never paid for the item and just about the same time, Ebay took away the seller's ability to leave negative feedback and the seller "moved on" with it and I never heard from them again. I got lucky but it taught me a lesson! Ribbit :) Ps: As a note - prior to the auction closing and the shrill bidding occurring, I had messaged the seller and asked to withdraw my bid.
