coinlover168 Pillar of the Community United States 506 Posts	Posted 10/01/2014 5:36 pm This seller had this huge lot for sale for auction and BIN on 2 different auctions at the same time. The BIN price is 26,500 and the auction ended a few days ago at about 6000. The buyer (not me) left feedback saying the seller backed out. Obviously he is trying to get the 26k. So UNETHICAL!

The buyer would be lucky be out on top if paying $6100. But I agree, pretty crappy move by the seller. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 10/01/2014 7:00 pm I've seen sellers do that before. I guess ebay can't monitor/detect when two identical items are listed by same seller. Yes, unethical! Report this Post to the Staff

It's up to us potential buyers to notify ebay of situations like this. ebay is NOT set up to find these things on their own. Report this Post to the Staff

jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2200 Posts	Posted 10/01/2014 10:42 pm I don't know about the other coins, but the 25 1964 Jefferson nickels really caught my eye! Report this Post to the Staff
YoshiRules Pillar of the Community United States 602 Posts	Posted 10/01/2014 10:54 pm I notice that in his description it says "Secondly I would like to add that I am selling the coin collection locally and have the right to cancel this at any time for any reason." Is it just me, or does this have a double meaning? Like, does it mean that he can cancel the listing before anyone bids, because of an error or some little innocent etc AND cancel the item after someone pays for it, just to get money? Ouch.

coinlover168 Pillar of the Community United States 506 Posts	Posted 10/01/2014 11:05 pm Yoshi, I thought it meant "I can cancel this if I get more for it somewhere else" like his BIN. Report this Post to the Staff
jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 10/03/2014 10:52 am ebay does allow you to cancel an auction if you sell it before hand. It's one of the default options they give you when you cancel an auction early. But; you can't cancel an auction if you have both a bid and it's within 24 hours of ending.
