Check out # 4901927184. Seller e-mailed me stating "Sorry, I cannot sell the necklace at this price. Thanks for your consideration." Seller had forgotten to put a reserve. Why didn't they notice that for seven days? There were three other bids and the seller only had three items for sale, so you would think they were watching. I haven't responded yet. Sure wish I could have done that on some of my auctions. I have often sold items for way less than their value. How would you guys respond to this?

SELLER CANNOT DO THAT. IT WAS NOT A RESERVE PRICE AUCTION. HOWEVER THEY ACTUALLY WROTE IT THE DESCRIPTION. the reserve price of this item is $50.00.THIS IS VERY LOW PRICE.

Thanks, Tom! Well, even if it looks like a tapeworm the seller should sell it. Waah! I want my 14k gold tapeworm!

She has already relisted it for $49.99. There's no reserve, but the description still states that the reserve is $50.00.

isn't it against ebay rules to do this? she should have to honor the bid whether she is losing money on it or not!

Earthmum: I just sent this seller a question. Below is my question and her weird answer.~Adele
>> Subject: Message from eBay Member
>> Dear bluepotato1,
>>
>> I wonder if you were aware that you can't use a reserve price in an auction unless it's stated at the top of the auction where your opening price is? I think you're doing this in your relist, too. You have to PAY Ebay for a reserve auction! Ebay will be after you soon if you don't mend your selling ways.

>> Thank you,

Her answer:
Yes,I did!Then I can't put reserve on my item anymore.Thanks for your advise.

hello again earthmum;
i finally saw the auction; being the winning bidder, you may become subjected to npb alert and warning from ebay..i am sure you know what happens..and you are certainly subject to feedback.
---------------
this bidder "cant use the reserve,"??? dont know what this means unless trying to conserve the visa limit. i am not sure how much a 9.99 vs. 50.00 auction costs, but cant be that much..but it adds credence that she may be too cheap, and will try for a fvf.
---------------------
this is the kind of junk ebay should stop immediately; and to guarantee that the innocent bystander[you in this instance], doesnt get hurt..

Thanks everyone! I e-mailed her and stated that she should have put a reserve through eBay, not just state it in the auction. Not a word. She also had another identical necklace listed with the one I bid on. That also ended cheaply. Wonder if she sold that one? I'm gonna neg her - perhaps that will teach her a lesson. She'll probably retaliate, but that's okay. Makes me wonder if the necklace wasn't 14k, just plated. Anyway, don't want that tapeworm now!

Don't NEG that Idiot!!!!!! why screw up your Record over a Cheapo,,,like this,,,,Let it pass.....BUT Report........Let,,,Ebay deal with it, like they give a rats,,,,,,,hahahaha....That a$$ will just return your neg and WE all know that.....if you were already shot full of holes (like me)then,, who cares, But you are perfect! Not worth it....the idiot most likely is NOT going to pull a NPB on you......Cheap! is all they are,,ALL the WAY around......

Like they give a rats patootie?
I am kind of proud of you placing the neg. That is how the system works and it had to be a tough decision. Of course some say the feedback system is flawed so what do I know. I buy on other ID's and keep my selling away from us frivolous evil gouging sellers. hahahahaha!!

Hi Valleychic - I'm having loads of fun with my new eBay IDs - I can bid incognito and leave silly funny feedback and not worry about the stellar reputation under my main name.
Edited because I can't type...
