But you can't set a reserve below £50. I can understand why the seller does this. You could report etc, but why not just bid a bit higher if the item sells for £90 in the shops?

Then he should start it off at a higher price and not 1p!!

If I hadn't of seen him doing this I probably would of bid higher. It just really annoyed me and it seemed very unfair to me.

He can legally remove the bid at any time before the conclusion of the contract. I think ebay and tv shops are a big rip off when it comes to postage prices.
I always give the exact price I would pay for special delivery.

My number 1 pet hate is when VAT is added at the end so you think your getting a bargin but your not.

As most items go to the wire it appears in terms of getting a high bid ( i blame these auto bidder programs), the chap is probably losing out on lots of profitable sales and having to pay a listing fee anyway!

That is my point, thankyou!

I mean if you want a minimum price, either start it at that price or stick a reserve on it. Don't just withdraw it because it isn't quite going your way and waste other people's time and try to screw extra money out of them.

people don't seem to like to start bidding at a higher price for some reason. Most people would overpay on a penny item than under pay on a reasonably priced item
