Is what I've done legal or unethical?

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't bid history normally include bid retractions? :rolleyes:

I saw someone selling 1p on ebay for £200, I had a good mind to tell the bidders the true value of that item, but I thought if they cant be bothered to do the research its their fault.

I saw an old lady being mugged the other day, but I didnt help her. I thought if she cant be bothered to go to self defence classes and walks down a busy street at 3pm in the afternoon shes asking for it.

Btw, can anyone tell me how to "search" on eBay please?

In the top right of every ebay page is a search box - just type in the item that you are looking for.
When you get to that page you can adjust what you are shown with the panel on the left such as 'completed auctions' this shows you what the last items in your search sold (or didn't sell) for
Underneath the search box is 'advanced search' if you click that you are offered options like 'by seller' or 'by bidder' so you can see what another member has been buying or selling recently

Thanks apprentice tycoon, even though I didn't make myself completely clear, you've answered the question I meant 'completed auctions' btw.

Thanks again ...

if you do sell on eBay..as you say you do ( I'm not disputing it ) then YES!..you were absolutely wrong.

How do you know what price the seller paid for the item in the first place...may well have been higher than you saw it at the shops.

What has it got to do with you as to what level someone sets their reserve price ??? Nobody asked you to bid.....and who promoted you to be the moral police on eBay???
What the heck has it got to do with you what somebody else charges for postage??

Personally I think you behaved in a very shabby and underhand way...............if you have any decency in you you'll contact the seller and apologise.

While there are many worse types of offenders on eBay i.e. scams etc...I think your behaviour was deplorable.

I don't think this bidder would appriciate u doing this. i think it should be removed. after all she has done nothing wrong. I started this discussion not her she shouldn't be involved.

Just noted elsewhere you'd apologised to the seller.......hope they told you what they thought of you..................
