NO, just the email to say my bid was confirmed at £50.01 and I was the highest bidder at that point. Which is how I can't understand what is going on, as surely by sending that from their system, they are accepting that I have bid that amount? But what I don't undertsand is how the item was won by someone with a lower bid than the one I placed if the seller did not cancel it, or ebay did not cancel it, both of which claim they did not. If the email I received was a spam then how would it know the exact amount I typed in?? I don't understand, but will find out what happened.

Okay, quick way to find out- go to item page, if you see that there has been a cancelled bid then there has and if you don't then there hasn't.
Even if they did though they are allowed to.

why would i be winding anyone up about this? and why shouldn't i spend my money if i want and can afford to? there is only so much money that you can spend when you have an estimated 6 months remaining to live. thats all i wish to say on the matter also.

OMG if this is a genuine post then I have to say surely you have higher hopes and dreams for your remaining time with family and friends than worrying about a pair of second hand shoes!

Now you're getting silly.

This is an odd shoe tale worthy of Cinderella, I can see a new panto coming on.....

"I won the auction"

"Oh no you didn't"

"Oh yes I did"

I'm surprised none of the parties involved can see the ridiculousness of this situation. Surely it can't be long before the National Press pick up on it, headlines to include:
"Ebay buyer has no sole".

"Ebay put the boot in"

"Second hand shoe repairers required, "cobblers" says Ebay seller"

he'll be in stitches

So you've got 6 months left to live and you're starting a court case over a pair of shoes.... wow the phrase lifes too short really doesn't cover it :rotfl: This is a wind up, it has to be.

Oh.My.God. It gets worse. If you *really* are bi polar, take mippy's advice and seek help. Otherwise, you are clearly demonstrating yourself to be delusional in a general nature with aspirations of grandeur. Off you trot, go on, trot, trot, no one can take you in the least bit seriously with the nature of these posts.
