Never understand ebay. I noticed a italian guillotine splicer listed at 29 cents and it had several bids now was at 1.29. Auction was supposed to end tomorrow. You know what the seller does deletes the bids and ends the auction.relists it for 50.00. Now if a bid is a binding contract how can a seller have the right to delete bids and end auction. Not a two way street I cant retract my bid. Sorry I'm just venting
Also I hate how the buy it now disappears after a bid is placed. If I want to pay that I should not be blocked by other bidders

Actually you can retract your bid. Ebay will let you do it if you don't have a history of doing it. Also the Buy it now disappears but that is because of the way the seller set up the auction. You can set up an auction so that bids will accumulate AND the buy it now remains. Ebay is a twisty maze and it takes a while to get used to if you aren't familiar with it.

when sellers say no return no refunds. its basically not true anything can get returned or someone get their money back because of the protection policies.don't know why sellers bother to put that?
