Car has met the reserve in 2 days! We'll see if he's a real buyer soon enough. Somebody's gonna get a deal if it doesn't go any higher.

So I finally hear from my high bidder on eBay and the guy tells me somebody hacked his computer and he didn't bid on it. The only problem I have with that is when I checked on what he has bid on in the last six months he bidded on another 70 chevelle in June. When I asked him about this he said he did bid on that one but the car turned out to be fake....WTF...... I hate liars. Something is fishy here. All I know is he ruined my auction and now I can't run it again because people will think the car is no good and that's why the first buyer backed out. Happens every time. Any trades accepted or I guess I'll have to paint it. I'M LEAVING HIM BAD FEEDBACK

Jerks [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img] . I didn't think eBay sellers could leave negative feedback for a buyer any more???

I JUST TRIED AND CANT! Man you dont have no rights anymore for somebody like this.

It has happened a few times with me, too. Absolute clowns out there. See if you can contact the 2nd or 3rd highest bidder to make a deal. Hope it works out for you!

Report him as a non paying bidder.

The shame is ebay won't do nothing to him...Maybe suspend someone's account for three months and it will stop. Also I appreciate telling to try the second and third bidder but that never works out for me. They always think that the first guy passed for a reason and the car must be a piece of shit. The good news is its not the end of the world being stuck with a numbers matching 70 chevelle.

Run a new auction as if nothing happened. You would be surprised how many times people start looking on e-bay never knowing about a past auction. If you mention the past auction then it brings a negative tone and it is not needed. The car speaks for it's self and it will sell at your price.

Shame on them because without sellers they would not make any money for there share holders.

my thoughts exactly

I have been "suggesting" they allow the sellers to rate the sellers the same way the sellers are rated (dashboard)

no response ...

I would relist the car and add a copy of the email from the "hacked" bidder. I had a bidder tell me he accidently placed on one of my auctions several years ago. I asked how he "accidently" bid when the bidding was a 3 step process. Did he accidently go through all 3 steps? He didn't respond to my question.
