flee-bay

[Bilbo]

goddam they pissed me off again.....i was bidding on something lately and was the only bidder with hours to go and was looking like bagging a bargain BUT the seller removed my bid and cancelled auction !! i was very unhappy and contacted e-bay to see what they would say. here is their reply:

Thank you for writing to eBay's Customer Support with regard to your
concern about the cancellation of the listing for the item number
XXXXXXXXX. I apologise for the delay in the response.

I understand your concern, and I am sorry for any frustration this
matter has caused you. Please understand that all eBay members have the
right to choose their trading partners. Just as a buyer has the option
of choosing trading partners by choosing which auctions to bid on, a
seller also has the option of choosing trading partners by rejecting or
accepting bids.

Because of this, sellers may cancel bids and end a listing at their
discretion. I understand the inconvenience this may cause you, and I do
sympathise. Moreover, please note, a fees is charged to the sellers for
listing items, even if they end the listing early.

I trust that this information has been useful to you. If you have any
further questions please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Kind regards,

Claire G.

'a fee will be charged'

how much will that be?? 10 cents or even just 5??

It is only the normal listing fee that is charged.

I have had to remove an item once - but I did message the bidder to explain why.
