Okay, I'm going to vent.
In the past two weeks 2 bats have been posted on eBay that I have wanted. After the first was posted, I emailed the seller asking if he would end early and what his buy it now price was to do so. He replied that he did not have a buy it now price and wouldn't end early. A day later, the auction is ended with the classic "The item is no longer available for sale." No bids were placed on the bat.
Then, today, I see another bat (same player) has been listed. Figuring I struck out last time when I asked the seller to end early, I would just bid. Someone else bid too. Then I get an email "Ebay Bid Cancellation Notice." So I look at the auction. "The item is no longer available for sale." Seriously, why would you end an auction with a few days to go and people bidding? Hope you got a nice price.
Vent over.
Is there anyway to avoid the side deal?
