Was bidding on a 650 cam when???
« on: November 18, 2012, 09:37:31 PM »
So I was bidding on a 650 cam, as i've been looking for one for some time . And I was high bidder. So my problem is, I just went to check on it, and it's not in my bidding history, it's not won, or lost.... what happened???? did the seller pull it? shouldn't I be notified? Ugh, been looking a 650 cam for my 550 for quite some time now. figured I had it in the bag...
But according to my Myebay I've never even viewed it, it's just gone.

anyone have something like this happen?

Same thing happened to me when I was bidding on a display holder for my WWII Japanese Type 95 sword. One minute I’m a bidder, then *poof* the listing just disappears off the radar. Ebay said the seller is ‘no longer a registered user’ due to policy violations.

Ebay are the only ones who can make an auction disappear completely like that.

you may have got off lightly , i doubt he was thrown off ebay for accurately describing items and posting them quickly .
