I have bought and sold much on Ebay. I have had them cancel an auction for violation of some rule of theirs, but they always e-mailed me with the reason. Still no e-mail or response to my inquiry from eBay. It was always something I did because I did not read the entire rules. They also always refunded my "insertion fee". They are certainly a big company, and you can "take them or leave them" I'm sure they would not care. How do you pay them? If you do as everyone should, pay with a credit card you can challenge the charge. Over the years I have had EXCELLENT service from both Master Card and Discover when someone tried to burn me both on line and in person. If, and it's a BIG if, this really happened like you "claim", it sounds like it was some kind of mistake. Click this link and you will see that my auction was in fact dumped. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ADME:B:LC:US:1 Does anyone here know if Ebay has some rule about posting a link to their auctions in Usenet? Yes, you are not suppsed to post anything related to an eBay auction ANYWHERE outside of eBay in any form or advertisement. This may be to protect them from charges of SPAM from their company, and also for them to maintain an absolute monopoly and control over any content or ads from their service. If people really did bid on your scanner you can just e-mail them and make a deal to sell them the scanner. Yes, they REALLY did. And guess what? I can't e-mail them because the auction is GONE and I dont' have the information. And you know what? Doing so would violate YET ANOTHER eBay rule. If you click the link above and read, you will see what it is. Dan |

List if for a $600 buy it now price, and I bet you will have some INBOUND e-mails from people wanting to do a deal for a lower price off of Ebay. And you know what? Doing so would violate YET ANOTHER eBay rule. If you click the link above and read, you will see what it is. If they cancelled the auction, you have no relationship to do the "deal" on Ebay. If they canceled the auction, there is nothing stopping you from doing a private party deal. |
