They have no reserve price and sometimes, they end up selling it to the highest bidder for a very low price. It's almost like you can sell it back for a higher price.

Site that tells average completed eBay auction price for electronics? I found a site once that listed the going rate for any product, based on completed eBay auctions.

How do i sue someone in another state who will not honor his part of an Ebay auction of an automobile? I bidded on and won an auction for a 1998 lexus. In the description of the item, it stated that the car was being offered at auction with no reserve. There was also no reserve listed in the price..... When the auction was over, I received an email from ebay saying that i had won the auction for $9100. I called the company to inquire about payment and shipping. The manager of the CARMAX that was auctioning off the car said he would not sell me the car for less than $15000. He also stated that he would not honor the ebay auction that said I had won the auction for $9200. Do i have to accept this? Since I am in Mississippi and his company is in Greenville, Nc, would it be appropriate for me to contact my state attorney general's office? Would a regular lawyer be able to do anyting to help me? Are ebay auctions considered binding contracts? Thanks the $9200 is incorrect. the correct amount is $9100 The company is called Automax...not carmax

Ebay auction - How much is to much for K-nex blocks? My children LOVE these! My 6yr old son will play for hours & I mean hours with these.

I would like to win this but how much would be to much? What would you set your limit to? The shipping is just $5.
Should I refund the buyer of my Ebay auction? I had an Ebay auction for $40 online codes. A person purchased it and I emailed her the code. A short time later she emails me back and said that my auction was deceiving and that she wanted a refund. She also promised never to use the codes I just sent her. Should I refund her? My auction had in BIG bold RED letters that you need to use the retailer's credit card to pay for your purchase. It stated that TWICE. The auction title also had in bold letters "ONLINE". She said she thought it was a standard paper gift card because it did have gift card in the title. I frankly dont want to refund her based on principle. If she said something like "Im sorry, I read the auction wrong. Can I get a refund?". I would be much more sympathetic. But when she tried to accuse that my auction is deceptive, Id rather NOT refund. I have 300+ 100% positive feedback and am willing to risk it on principle alone. Not on that but I paid the high Ebay/Paypal fees in addition to her having the unique codes. I would like to clarify that I used "gift card" because it was an online gift card. My auction mirrors many other auctions and I have not had a problem before with similar auctions. Wanted to keep this private, but why not, here is the auction listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170088494965 Ooops it was a different, but identical, auction that is in dispute. I simply used the "sell similar" item option and listed another lot I had. That second lot is the one under dispute. But you get the idea.

Does an Ebay Seller have to give a refund if there is nothing noted in the auction? I won an Ebay auction for a portable DVD player on Tuesday. The seller was very nice and was pretty much guaranteeing that it would arrive in time for Christmas, (sending priority mail). The seller happens to live in CO. I paid for this over the phone via MasterCard and he says he shipped it out shortly after that. Well, the infamous blizzard hit Denver and now there's a good possiblity it won't arrive in time, so I kindly sent the man an email explaining that I'm going to have to purchase another one of these from the dept. store and that I will send his item back unopened and would appreciate a refund. He tells me that he's not going to do that...his auction never said anything about a refund policy. What options, if any, do I have...thank you!

How do I get my money back regarding an eBay auction gone bad? I paid for an item on eBay using a MoneyGram money order. The seller cashed it almost as soon as she received it, but never sent the item and never answered my phone calls or emails. I opened up a case for the Trust and Safety team, but she never responded to it. It is now a closed case, and she is no longer a registered user. My question now is... will eBay hunt down my money, or will I have to sue the seller to get my money back?
How can I check on the time left on an eBay auction? Is there any other way to check on the time left for an auction on eBay other than clicking on the item. It seems like there would be a clock on items that count down the minutes/hours left instead of clicking on the item over and over. Thanks!
Could I actually win an ebay auction if I bid on an item at the last minute? Ive recently made the decision to make an ebay account, and I want to buy some trading cards off the site, but the prices are very very low.

When I Use PayPal to Pay for an eBay Auction, Why Does PayPal Try to Convince Me to Use My Bank Account? It seems that the people at PayPal do not want users to use their personal credit cards to pay for won auctions. >>>>WHY IS THAT?<<<< Two thoughts that I have are that PayPal makes less money on the transaction or PayPal loses it's ability to tell the winner of the auction that they are SOL when something goes wrong. When you use your credit card you can still use your credit card company to dispute charges. Thank you for your thoughts.
On eBay, what do you do if a high offer is made outside of an auction? I am selling a gift card on eBay. The auction still has six days.
