He put a Mr. Frosty Ice Maker up for auction, with a starting price of 99p. The bids had reached £1.45, and there were two main people vying for the item, both of whom contacted my daughter-in-law, outside E-Bay. They both asked if they could buy the item, at a set price. One of them offered £10, plus P&P and the other didn't mention a price, but also wanted to buy outside E-Bay. Now, my understanding is that if you put an item up for auction, then you're allowed to withdraw it, but you're not allowed to sell outside E-Bay, and not really allowed to sell before end of auction unless you put a "Buy Now", or "Make an Offer" tag on it. Quite rightly, I think, my daughter-in-law refused to accept, as she thought it unfair on other bidders who had submitted their bids. The upshot of it all was, the person who offered £10 plus P&P won the item, for a mere £1.90, plus P&P. What are your views on this, and what would you have done if you had been my daughter-in-law? What is your understanding of the E-Bay selling policies? Was my daughter-in-law correct in what she did? Do you think the two buyers who contacted her should have been reported to E-Bay? Your views, please? Sun, 29 Jun 2008 16:29:58 GMT Darkwing
