eBay Question.

[kitesurf_phil]

If somehting has a buy it now price and no reserve, shouldn't it be yours if you are the highest bidder? Even if it is well short of the buy it now price?

[mark g8awo]

one would assume that...

[BUSHWHACKER]

Thats how I see it.

[kitesurf_phil]

So it should be in items won on my delBay summary, not in items not won? I was the only bidder.

[BUSHWHACKER]

I guess so, but it might not register straight away.

[kitesurf_phil]

So have I got a brand new 4500LB Winch for £20.00?

[mark g8awo]

report him as a bad dealer

[Gamedawn]

The first bid should cancel the buy it now option and then it works like a normal auction

one would assume so phil but e-bay make up the rules as and when they like it seems and change them as fast to suit too

Did the item have a starting price or only the buy it now price?

[kitesurf_phil]

Did the item have a starting price or only the buy it now price?

No. Just the buy it now price. Auction is finished with no winner.

post a link or the item number so that we can have a look.

i am sure that if you bid on the item then some one else comes along and byes it now that person will get it then it would end
if people bid higher than the bye it now the bye it now will dissapear

We have a very similar site to e-bay here it is called Trade-Me
The buy-now price will stay untill reserve is met
If there is no reserve then the first bid will remove the buy-now
People who start the auction way below reserve give me the 5hits !!
I flick all my stuff on there at a real low start with no reserve and see what I get. Some people get excited out of all proportion on Auctions and you can get some good cash for your goods.

I agree with the others let us have a look at the auction and complain anyway
