Dodgy b!tch on eBay.	Wed, 29 September 2004 14:30

I was bidding on this brand new 6.5" Alpine screen the other day on eBay. eBay Alpine monitor Now, I read the seller's feedback and was a little worried that a couple of people weren't too happy with her auctions. So, I asked many, many, very specific questions about the sale and was satisfied that she would need to blatently lie to screw me over and hence I would have some legal grounds to counter screw. Anyway, I was being the smart eBayer and waited until there was just over a minute remaining before I made my solitary bid of $701.50... I was the highest bidder and was set to win the auction. 16 seconds later she cancels the auction, and cancels all bids, without explaination!!! There was no reserve listed and nowhere in the description did it say she had the right to cancel the auction early. First question... Did she have the right to do this? Is this allowable eBay practice? Now I come to my second grievance with this woman... After being pissed off that I missed out on a good deal I started looking into her history... I found out that of the 12 or so auctions she's got in her feedback list there is a user by the name of "ohturbovs9" that has been bidding in 9 of them! These auctions range from golf clubs to CD players to TV screens to Blink182 CD's and even an R33 Skyline! Now this ohturbovs9 character surely isn't interested in all these items, surely it is and alias of her's to bump up the price? Pioneer DEH-P7450MP 5719727153 7" Pioneer screen. 5719728311 Pioneer AVH-P7500. 5717811119 Pioneer AVH-P7500. 5716226099 Callaway x 16 Irons. 3694645798 Taylor Made... 3694619743 Every Blink 182 CD 4031295651 Second question... Is she allowed to have a second account under which she can bid on her own auctions? I have emailed her to ask why the auction was cancelled and her reply was, "yeh mate sold it off ebay. I have other for sale if you want" I then sent an email back asking about the ohturbovs9 person to which she said, "I dont know y that user ohturbovs9 has bidded on my items. I can understand that it may seem dodgy but I have not idea who it is. I can sell you the same monitor for 1050 rrp is 1350 and this is brand new in the box." Now doesn't it seem like she still has the monitor and cancelled the auction because it wasn't going for enough? Isn't that what a reserve is for? I really wanted this thing for $701.50 and that is why I bid for it. Can I get her in trouble or force her to cough up the one she still has, for that price? Any help appreciated... and if you have read this far. Gold star to you. [Updated on: Thu, 30 September 2004 00:48] [Report message to a moderator]
