I've been watching this bike on eBay for the past week, I placed my bid and WON the auction for Â£91.11

All fair and square... no bidnapper or auction sniper, 10 secs to go I placed the maximum bid I was prepared to place.. (which was Â£110).

A COUPLE OF HOURS AFTER THE AUCTION FINISHED I GOT THIS MESSAGE.

Interested? of course I am interested that why I BID... and that's why I WON at Â£91.11...

Anyone ever had this kind of thing before??? I've brought plenty off eBay and no-one has ever tried this....

What's his feedback rating? i can't believe he doesn't know how it works

Quote the bit in the rules that says it's 'legally binding'

Why enter into a contractual agreement to sell something if you're "unsure how this works"!

Had this before,gaybay did nothing.Won an item for £55 then got a message saying he`d had an offer of £200 and if I could beat that then the item was mine...Your guy is obviously a complete tool.

sucks and happening more and more

Peter J · « **Reply #17 on:** October 20, 2011, 09:23 AM »

Its 100% shite Dave

I've had this happen to me a while back, one of the reasons I cancelled my ebay account (although I've now had to get a new one $:-\$ )

There's nothing that can be done because ebay doesn’t give a toss about it because they'll get there listing fee off the seller

so screw the buyer is there philosophy

Best you can hope for is if you name and shame on here.......someone might know them

very bad form

stidds · « **Reply #20 on:** October 20, 2011, 09:31 AM »

It stinks to hell Dave, but Ebay will do nothing about it.

I won a frame on ebay US in the past and as it didn't go for what the seller wanted he told me some crap about it being stolen since the auction ended.

I contacted Ebay and they said that there is nothing they can do to force a seller to sell an item, all you can do is neg them.

Out Him/Her Dave

at least then we know who to avoid in future

beard1973 · « **Reply #23 on:** October 20, 2011, 11:48 AM »

He's an eBay newbie (apparently)..

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250909998894'ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1434.l2649#ht_500wt_1327

The bike is wrongly described and has the wrong wheels, seat and decals... its actually a relatively rare Mk2 Cromo Burner (Koizumi Frameset NOT Raleigh Notts).

Its more than likely a case that one of the other bidders who missed out have tipped him off that its worth more than £91.00... which again STINKS...

eBay won't do anything I know that... and with feedback of +2 its hardly gonna worry him if he gets his account suspended.

Collecting Old BMX bikes used to be so much more fun that this... $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$
