lol, now it seems like this seller is smart. He saves a few cents on listing these items and created some attention.

^^^^^^

Ah, That is why he ended the auction by buying it himself and relisting it for free. Now I understand.

And what's the logic why ebay accept sellers buying their own products...?

Sellers can end or cancel listings anytime they want just have to say item no longer available they may have to pay a small fee though

I know this wasn't the case here, but I don't think a seller can get away with no shipping an item that is bought and paid for. As ebay states, a bid is a contract. If a seller failed to deliver the item, the buyer has grounds to sue to damages, and they would win, no matter what the sellers excuse.

This happens on accident all the time. They put BIN instead of starting bid. ebay doesn't dock you for it, and buyers can't leave negative feedback. Just a miss-click. No big deal. If you list a lot of auctions on ebay, it will probably happen to you one day. People who attempt to leave negative feedback for not getting an $800 coin for .99 cents have no spine.

Anjohl - Doesn't work like that. Read ebay policies and good luck finding an attorney who gives a crappola.

This is clearly a marketing ploy, look at how many people are looking into his product.

I disagree. If someone were to have bought it, it would be driving away a couple of potential customers. Whether they would be actual returning customers in the long run, who knows, but I know I wouldn't risk negatives just to get some views. Those are the only 2 he has done like that as far as I can see, so it must have been a mistake.

Plus the fact that he MUST have realized it and went to close the a couple minutes after listing them.

Okay, wait. After looking at that closely now, somebody must have bought it other than himself. If a seller closes an item, the price should show up red, right?

Yep, it was bought, not closed. Anyways, I guess he resolved the issue with the buyer as he still didn't get any negative or neutral.

Yes, I think someone bought it. The seller must have made a listing error and did not realize it until someone bought it. If he immediately knew he made a mistake, he could have ended the auction and still get a free re-list.

So if you guys were quick and bought those coins for 99c you would leave negative feedback even though you know it was just a mistake?

I know I wouldn't. Everyone is human, everyone makes mistakes sometimes.
