Very Annoyed with Ebay sellers ending auctions (RANT!)

There is (or was ?) a way of sending an individual a BIN option which obviously went through the ebay system
Must admit I have not used it for a while so it may have been withdrawn by now

I've not seen that one. You may well be right. I'm just not aware of it.
TDi90:
if someone offered me an amount i cant refuse then i would be an idiot not to end it early.
similarly, i recently bought something off ebay where i asked him how much he was looking for, i offered him that ended it early.
jobs a goodun.
:P
sometimes i end early, if the price is right, why not? its my auction! i would be daft not to!
:kiss:

I was only made aware of it as someone I made an offer for on something sent me a BIN now - it looked just like the auction page with a BIN option that apparently only I could see - I seem to remember I only had so long to respond before it lapsed
Seemed a good way of doing business at the time but as I say, not sure if it is still an available option - maybe worth looking into ?

it's not a sale it's an Auction and as such subject to strict rules and regulations. An item can only be withdrawn from an auction if it fails to reach it's reserve price. ending an auction early for any reason other reason is illegal. If you want to enter an item in a forsale site with a fixed price there are plenty of websites around for you to do this. If you use an auction site then you should be prepared to accept the full terms of an auction. Not just the bits that suit you.
