  • Something strange (again) on ebay

    Someone is selling the 2x400' Battlestar Galactica on ebay, now this is the 4th time it's been on their, as I keep getting the 2nd chance email, now I know he's had bids on it, the final bid yesterday was £31, so why is it up on ebay once again, starting bid of 99p or a buy it now of £40, why I'm a bit suscpicious is there's no description of the colour or general condition of the print, just a couple of photos of the boxes, if he's had bidders, why is he re-listing it, especially the day after it was supposedly sold, your telling me that 3 weeks on a trot he hasn't got paid, and not even leaving it for 24 hours to see if payment comes through, it seems very odd to me, I bid on it 3 weeks on the trot, but my bids are low because of the lack of info, I'm not bothering now, he's either got multiple prints (which I doubt) or he wants around the £40 buy it now price!

    He should be reported, whoever the lad is. It's just as annoying as when people will buy something and not pay. It looks like case of a seller using a ghost account they also own, to try to get the sucker to get in a bidding war, and when they don't take the bait, just relisting, hoping to get a sucker. Just my opinion.

      Osi I had the same thought as you, I bet he's got a second account and is bidding it up to near his wanted price hoping someone will take it on, but how to prove it?

        Barry, did You ask for a more accurate description?

        In Germany it often happens that someone is bidding by help of an own ghost account. But You can discover a lot on the bidders list…

          I agree Barry. As soon as there is a bid on a item, and the auction ends, the seller is "contractually obligated" to honor the sale, and not pick and choose who or when they'll honor the agreement.
