I think once the sale is ended it's a legally binding contract.
Imagine if it were a house, and you won the bid at say £120,000 and the seller said 'No, I want half a mill'
The fact it's only 99p makes no odds.
It's the same when sellers state on their description things like 'I won't be held responsible for items that get lost in the post'
Yes they will, it's their responsibilty to make sure the package arrives, or they claim from P.O.
It's all in the rules...................

It is, but you still can't force someone to sell something they don't want to,, they only need to say it has been lost, stolen, broken, etc. You may win a court case but all that would achieve is losing you money!Barneysmom wrote: »I think once the sale is ended it's a legally binding contract..0 -

Bad example as house bids are non-binding in England (hence the joys of gazumping and gazundering in the current climate).They promised the earth...and delivered mud. Technically though it did meet the spec.0 -

I should pay for it then ask her to make me an offer, as it would be mine... :rotfl:The View Belongs To Everyone0

not necessarily, as she can [perfectly legally] refuse your paymenthelpful tips
it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
there - 'in or at that place'
their - 'owned by them'
they're - 'they are'
it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)0 -
If you really want the item, make the seller an offer
Otherwise report as non performing seller0 -
They are obviously one of the TSFE sellers we sometimes come across and best put out of their misery.
There's a vast difference between TSFE and someone who doesn't want to sell an item for such a low price.sarahg1969 wrote: »They ARE binding at auction (which is what we are talking about here).
But ebay isn't an auction.Bought, not Brought0 -

They've got to be able to pay, being awarded costs doesn't mean you will get them! Going to court for 99p wouldn't exactly make a judge look favourably upon you..0
