eBay and Craigslist finds

I've contacted the seller asking why has he voided the original sale.

I got a reply from him.
Basically he admits to have drawn back the sale because it was too little money.

"...Yes, i put this in auction and ends in 127€. This price its not enoght for me. This frame cost to more money and i cant lose money. I prefer to get a negative vote than a sell this beautyful frame for this price. ..."

Idiot.

he may get some more "negative votes" if nearest future if he doesn't behave

Is it me, or does this really look like magic marker?

"yes"

Doesn't he know how the reserve system works?

Hi all.

Sorry to make my first post here a negative one, but I won that frame on eBay last sunday in an auction from the same seller, but he refused to sell it to me for the price of my winning bid!

Link here. You may have to log on to eBay to see the ended auction.

Anyways, the seller has been reported to eBay and I just want to warn any potential buyers of this sellers items.

Damn. I was gutted I didn't bid on this but glad I didn't in the end!

Sorry to hear of your troubles mate.

he does very well thats why he did that. reserve costs money if you dont sell AFAIK. he avoided it and left nice impression.

Strange things happens everyday these days on eBay.

Bids are cancelled. Auctions dismist. Seller that wont need to send things.

How do you cancel a bid and how is the seller manage to abort a auction even if i have made a bid?

not an expert but I suspect you can deal with it one way or another.

bottom line is - if you won it and he has done nothing to prevent the sale its an arse behaviour not to sell or not to negotiate with a buyer.

i will make him an offer too... let me check how much it went for ...

pending best offer of 127.50 Euro

if everyone did this, ebay would impolode, its a really good place to buy and sell, the rules are there to stop people pulling out of sales and undermining the entire point of an auction house.

agree - with one exception - way too expensive to buy anything most times.

if you play it right, you can still pick up good items cheap.

ok so you cant buy track bikes/parts cos they get fixeh tax, but rules is rules.

if one person can break them, then everyone can, same as here + same reason you can't put porn on youtube.

Full bike-
I think its a good price at 550 bin with all the campag bits and bobs...
