O/T ebay question

I recently bid on an item and the winning bidder couldn't complete the transaction. I was offered a "second chance" and declined. The item was re-listed. It sold again and now it is re-listed again. Seems kind of odd that two bidders could not complete the transaction. If he had duplicate items, wouldn't those be listed as a new bid item not a re-list? Seller has a 100% rating. What's the deal? Just curious.

Kinda sounds like the bidders were scammers or the seller signed in under multiple aliases and increased the bid to get more money out of legit bidders. Same things happen at farm auctions.
 
Find it elsewhere. Hey, hate to hijack your thread but does that auctioneer have those consignment sales often? Mrs said she would have liked to go to the last one. Would have been nice if she had mentioned it before the sale!
 
The problem with that is that the seller would have to file a 'non-paying' bidder complaint on his "friends" or Ebay thinks he got paid and they would expect their percentage.
 
It could have been irresponsible bidders who did not pay. It took me four auctions to sell a Suziki to a responsible honest bidder.
 

There are a lot of deadbeat bidders on Ebay. When they don't pay you have to wait on Ebay to contact them and the whole sale is put on hold. I also just hit the relist button. It saves me a lot of timne re-entering everything.
 
Agree with fergienewbee.

A whole bunch of things cause this. Some people are bidding to be aholes. If the winning bidder has 0 history and refuses to pay you relist it. If the seller is bidding themselves up - they relist it. Nothing that you don't see at average consignment auction. Just know what you are willing to pay and leave it at that.
