e bay

dont you just hate it when you find something on e bay you want , and are the highest bidder with just over 3 hours to go , when the seller cancels your bid and closes the auction because he has " advertised it elsewhere and it sold "

he dont wanna pay ebay there fees,another tricks to cancel the transaction after hes been an paid cash refund on fees etc both parties happy that way!

Only bid at last few seconds, No point bidding before hand as it will only make it sell for more usually. Also makes it so you can't up your price when you go mad and bid more than you were willing to a few mins before just because you want to win.

you can't end a listing that has less than 12 hours left, can you?

I agree with Fez on the bidding, I sometimes have a little punt when i suspect there is some naughty bidding going on though

u can end but not revise/retract bids etc but if youve got a cash buyer do the deal through ebay and then cancel it you get refunded fees etc feedback gets left evryones tickety boo!

It's common to pull the auction as said above. It's to be frowned upon but dont go buying off ebay if you want a moraly upstanding deal

Just snipe dont bid, you know it makes sense
