Not suppost to be able to cancel bid in the last 12 hrs.This one really ticked me off. The Corvair I'm selling is a restoration project so I put a low $400 reserve on it. Within 2 hours of listing one guy with 30+ feedback puts a bid on it. During the week another 0 feedback bidder bumped it up to $1125 with the original bidder still at the top. I emailed the 0 feedback bidder and he seemed legit. When I get home from work today another 0 feedback bidder (who just so happened to register today!) put in the high bid. No contact so I cancel and block him from bidding again. Now the original bidder with good feedback is at the top and within 5 minutes he cancels his bid with less than 1 hour to go! Now the original 0 feedback bidder is the only bidder and he automatically dropped back to the $400 reserve! Now all this crap looks fishy on my bidders list and nobody is going to touch this auction with 45 minutes to go.I also know about the scam on how two friends will bid up an item and at the last minute one will cancel dropping the bid back down to the starting price.
Much to my surprise the 0 feedback guy contacts me and asks what's going on as he's worried and thinks I might be trying to pull a scam. I explain and we end up working out a deal for $1000. He's happy and I'm happy. I'll know for sure by Wednesday as he's driving all the way from Texas to northern Indiana to pick it up but so far he seems really honest.
That's what I thought too, but he managed within the last hour.Not suppost to be able to cancel bid in the last 12 hrs.
