Yeah, once I sold a name at Ebay for more what I was thinking to obtain (4 figure).
The next day (after the auction closed) I received a mail from a bidder telling me he had problems to bid within the last minute, so he lost the auction.
He offered me to DUBBLE the final Ebay price !

DAMMIT STUPID BUYER !
DAMMIT STUPID BUYER TO TELL ME THIS !
DAMMIT STUPID BUYER --> GET A AUCTION SNIPER !

Unfortunately the Ebay winner paid promptly

Nothing more to say --> DON'T LOOK BACK !

For a 4 digit doubled I would've ditched the winner and sell to a loser.
Not exactly kosher, but I think 1 negative feedback is worth 4 digits.

Don't even think about it. :o

Be a PRO + be ETHICAL = feel better at the end of the day
A deal is a deal, and I expect the same behavior from others.
You do this once and your reputation may be gone forever.

PS:
I might have sold it to the looser without any bad feelings if the winning bidder would have not fullfilled the prior agreements.

Well, "ethical" is relative. There's a big chance that the loser will approach the winner with his double-offer and the name will be re-sold. Your loss - their gain.

Against the law and highly unethical, the only reason a seller would get away with it if the buyer decided it wasn't worth suing.

What law?
Suing over a non-completed ebay auction? Come on, you can't be THAT naive.

A auction (online or not) is a legal binding contract - never forget this !.
So either seller or buyer can take leagal actions if the correct finished auction does not lead to the change of ownership of the sold item.

Thats buisiness :tri:

Name ONE case involving ebay auction winner suing the seller for not following through. Or a seller suing a buyer for not paying.
That's lawer's wish. No more, no less.

oh the irony

Snoop... What irony?
Seriously, let's do this. I'll setup an auction (for whatever). You win it. I'll immediately send you a "My apologies, item not available..." email and refund your money (if you were quick to pay). SUE ME.

The irony of you saying you are unaware of any law making this illegal ("what law") and then going on to suggest I am the one who is naive. Really I'd suggest you do some basic research on how contract law is applied to auctions before you reply.

Though I think you are now trying to move the debate off in a another direction, focusing on whether people will bother to sue, or whether people can find a court case about an ebay seller renegging. We all know very few cases are ever likely to reach court, simply because the amounts are likely to be relatively small compared to the legal expenses. However that does not change the fact that what you are talking about is against the law.

Er, not a real big believer in situational ethics..... be true to your word, you'll never have to remember what you've said.
