Totally agree - sure the media would love a story like this...You know, on reflection though, despite the absolute joy I had at pippas winning bid - its incredibly sad that despite who knows how many emails and contacts made to ebay, they did nothing about this.
The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing:)0 -

also sad that people don't read the listings thoroughly...its buyer beware on eBay...so many rats willing to prey on the susceptible these days..
(*susceptible*...oooh didn't mean to sound so judgemental...could have been caught myself a few times)
nice to know there are some decent people who care enough to look out for others.... :-*Nice to save.0 -
Just got this email from another bidder who I think that one of us managed to email earlier - he has just found out how close he came....

perhaps someone could contact ( I'm maxed out) the "late losing bidders" in case he tries to second chance them
