A seller is allowed to end a listing if it has not sold-- after all, until it is paid for by the buyer, it belongs to the seller.

 

BUT

  • EBay charges sellers a fee to list, although there have been a lot of Free Listing promotions in the past couple of years.
  • If there are bids on an item and the seller ends it, the high bidder is deemed to be the winner. And can open an Item Not Received Dispute.
  • If the seller ends a listing, having first cancelled all the bids, he pays Final Value Fees on the cancelled high bid which he did not accept.

So basically, not only is the seller missing the last moment 'snipe' bidders and annoying the actual bidders, he is paying eBay for the fun of doing so.

 

Some business plans are better than others.

Not knowing all the facts, it is also possible the seller cancelled the bids coming from countries he does not want to ship to (Canada for example).

 

There are many reasons - some valid, some not - to cancel bids.

 

Best thing to do is to contact the seller and ask.

the bid was placed and won until the company pulled it, and than the next day put the product back up, I'm telling you they wanted more money! this company keeps doing this. I've bid on many products from this company and if they don't get enough they cancel it. I did talk to ebay about this and they said they would look into this, and yes they did said they see the pattern of them pulling the product and then putting it back up for action, this Is not right, plus ebay looses on a sold product!!

"until the company pulled it,"

 

What exactly does that mean?

 

Could you please provide exact date and time when listed, when the bid was placed, the scheduled ending date/time of the auction listing and when it was "pulled"?

 

"ebay looses on a sold product!!  "

 

You may not know this but seller have to pay eBay full fees when they cancel a listing on which bids were placed.

 

Another possibility is that the seller noticed the feedback you leave for sellers (neutral/negative) and decided he did not want to sell to you specifically.

first of all I never had a chance to leave a negative feedback because it was pulled. I was never able to buy any of these products, they were pulled. lets see if this stays up here (The bid that you entered for the item  has been cancelled. You can view the reason provided for the cancellation by selecting the (bid history) link from the individual item page.)(The bid that you entered for the item  has been cancelled. You can view the reason provided for the cancellation by selecting the (bid history) link from the individual item page.) this is just 2 of about 20 projection tvs that are put on auction, NOT BY NOW , from the same company that trys to sell on auction and if not getting enough money they will pull the product when there is a day left, they say the product was bought so that they can pull the product, like I said the tv is then put back up the next day, same company same product, just watch the tvs, I've been trying to buy one of these for months, so I'm always looking, anymore questions?( I hope I explained this correctly) funhouse

This Chinese seller has over 1,000 sales this year.  So he does sell some "stuff".

 

On the other hand, when looking at his feedback record (both neutral and negative) I would never ever bid on anything from him.

 

Find yourself a reliable seller with a clean feedback record selling at a reasonable price.
