Yeah, exactly.. if the seller gets the money they want even sooner.. then it's in good interest to them to end it earlier. Im all for it

1 hour left, and i'm hoping to get the laptop $200 cheaper than expected!!!!! wish me luck!

It's only against ebay rules if you end the auction for someone to buy from you without relisting on ebay. That is considered circumventing ebay fees or ebay fee avoidance. IF you, however, relist, ebay does get their money from you and that is the only reason for the rule.

Villette,
I sell a LOT on ebay. Nothing pup related really, mostly clothing, and I also sell dolls that I make lol! If you have any questions ask away!

You can end early even if someone bid. They will get an email stating that the item is no longer available. The seller just has to say that she just realized the item was damaged. It is against "the rules" but so many people do it.

Isn't there some type of repercussion. I thought they could leave negative feedback. Or maybe it was that you received some kind of strike and if it happened too often, you were suspended? I thought I had heard there was some type of penalty to circumventing ebay rules but I'm not sure.

I was just reading the rules about ending the auction early.. and it said that you still have to pay ebay the listing fees and whatever it is.

Anyways, Guess who just bought a brand new lap top!!!!

YUP, thats me! yippie!!!!
I'm a little nervous about paying all that money.

I knw ebay is suppose to be safe and legit, but I'm still a bit nervous.

Honestly, I'm not 100% sure. I believe the person who bid may be able to leave you feedback if they want. Most people don't...except the newbies. They get POed and leave a negative for every little thing!

My mom is an AVID eBay power seller. When she comes back from Puerto Rico (she's there on vaca until the 16...lucky dog!) I'll ask her cuz I wanna know too!

Congrats, girlfriend!

Hey, and don't let the seller con you into paying the fees!! She would have had to pay them anyway had the sale gone through.

Nope, they can only leave feedback if they actually win the item. Since the auction is ended, it is null and void and no feedback can be left. I think when ebay first started, there was the option to leave feedback in that case, but not anymore.

The only way you get strikes as a seller, is if you don't send the item someone paid for. Then you are a non-selling seller. You can also have listings pulled by ebay for inappropriate, copyrighted, or other illegal content, and if that happens too often, they can do something. Really the only way a seller would get booted is if they didn't pay their fees or they shilled their auctions.

Buyers receive nonpaying bidder strikes if the seller turns them in. A lot of sellers end up getting negs from people who never paid because that glitch in the feedback system hasn't been taken care of yet.

There is absolutely nothing against ebay rules about ending a listing early...to put a buy it now on a listing and sell it using that feature. They get more money that way really. Two listing fees, plus the BIN fee for the new auction, pls the final value fee. So, ebay makes out really well...

I have been buying and selling on ebay for 3 years...I know it can be nerve wracking sending a large sum of money to people you dont know..just make sure she had GREAT feedback..if its less than perfect read the feedback comments...the negative ones will show you what other buyers have had troubles with..GOOD LUCK!!

.. with 3 negatives out of like 287 comments. They seemed like he said, she said crap.

So I sent the money ($1040!!) and I will get the new laptoppy by the end of the week! yay!

I can't believe i just spent $1000 NOT on a yorkie.. LoL!!!
