Getting tired of bidding on items on ebay, only to have the listing ended early "due to an error in the listing."
Total BS. At least two of the three that happened recently I would bet the true reason for ending early was the fact the seller was unhappy with the low amount of bids/ low price, as the auctions I'm referring to were getting ready to end in about a day from when they were ended.
As a bidder, I'm expected to pay for an item if I bid and win, but the seller has a way out if he/she doesn't like the potential auction results.
They could easily put a higher starting price or a reserve on the item, or even buy it now. Ebay allowing them to end early is just ridiculous.
Another rant, there's a bike I've been watching that I like. Says $120 for shipping. Then you scroll down to the description and it says no shipping, local pick up only unless you want to arrange your own shipping. WTF?
I've seen a few others with a shipping price only to say no shipping in the description. If you don't want to ship it fine, but then don't put a shipping price on it.
