Matt RI'm not an alcoholic during the week, but when the weekend rolls around I like to down some beers and just be a couch potato. Unfortunately I often find myself on e-bay bidding on stuff that I really can't afford at the moment. I'm sweating out one auction for a card right now because I'm in the lead with one day left and my max bid is quite a bit higher than the current bid. I've got car insurance due this month that I completely forgot about that when I placed my bid. I'm not the type of person that is not going to pay for an item I win. If I win it, I'll have to pay with a credit card and then turn around and re-list it on e-bay to recover hopefully most of my money.
If I win this auction, is it against the rules for me to contact the person with the second highest bid and offer to sell it to them? I don't see any reason that would be against the rules but e-bay is kind of funny about some things.
