Chuffing Ebayers

I was bidding up on some silver roof rails for my estate on ebay and I was the winning bidder. Checked up today and the seller has cancelled all bids and closed the sale!

AArrgghhh drives me up the ******* wall this kind of thing. If you want £200 why don't they put it up for £200? Not 99p start price and cancel as bidding has not gone through the roof like you thought it would!

Rant over.....for now.....

Yes, yes it was.... Could you of been the other guy bidding??

It gets me annoyed as he had at least two bidders and stuff usually goes mad in the last few minutes...

No i was NOT bidding on them.. as i didnt know how much the postage would be..

**kenp** · 15th November 2009, 16:55

but i wanted them

.. just checked prices would be between 50-100£ mark.. but i problaly also would either bid so high that you wouldt be on.. or bid within the last 5 minutes.

make sure you report him/her to ebay, as they would be very quick to report you if you dodnt paay for somthing as they want... ebay state its a contract...

Basically a free alternative to putting on a reserve.

I'm that narked I reported him (for what good it'll do!) I'm sick of the bay at the moment I had another muppet open a non payment dispute after I'd paid with paypal and proved it..

He then said he wont close the dispute until I leave positive feedback!!
