Don't you just hate it...!

When sellers on Ebay put up something to sell with 'No Reserve' only to withdraw it hours before the end in the realisation that it has only reached 30% of what they were expecting using some 'phoney' excuse about some error in the description...!!!
And no, it didn't sell as it has been re-listed at 3 times the price it was when retracted...

What wallys!!

It does annoy me bill, and also the old chestnut of 'advertised elsewhere so reserve the right to end auction early'
Which is code for, if it doesn't look like I will get the amount I want, I'm taking it off!

I know, if you don't want to abide by the rules, and obvious pitfalls of an Auction, don't do it!! (Or put a reserve). Loads of bolloks if you ask me.....

Sometimes it makes you want to overbid and when you win it say you do not want it
