If the seller didn't want to take the risk of the cable selling for less then he wanted to take, he should have made the minimum bid higher.

I listed some ties with a minimum bid of five cents. They all sold for five cents! Was I pissed? Yes, especially when the same person bought most of them and wanted me to combine shipping. Even though I lost money on the deal, I didn't not ship the items. A contract is a contract even though eBay makes it easy for sellers to weasel out of them.

Thanks for the tip, I probably wouldn't buy from that seller.

Should have cancelled your auctions or had a friend make a shill bid! - goober58 20:25:57 07/26/11 (6)
Beleive it or not sellers used to be able to put one bid in their own items on eBay. I think too many people complained but to me it sounds like a fair idea. Ebay gets paid, seller loses money and buyer breaks even.

Gotta wonder who would complain about that?

        You want to talk about people behind their back - I find it offensive.
        
        You propose we form a blacklist - I find it offensive.
        
        That's it that's all - we should just agree to disagree. OK?
