>I just disagree with your point about it being ok to end auctions early.>
The bottom line is ebay permits it, Michael. Ebay permits bid retractions and permits ending auctions early. It isn't a question of being unethical. I never said I LIKED the practice, I said that 1) ebay permits it 2) a bunch of morons lied to a seller and told him ebay didn't permit it 3) the idiots threatened to have him booted from ebay 4) he was coerced out of a contracted sale with a buyer because of these lies.
THAT is the bottom line. If ebay wants to say you can't end auctions early, I am all for it. Right now, they don't.
If you are condemning buyers for trying to end auctions early and calling them unethical, you are condemning 95% of the collectors who post here. I think you are lucky most of the regular posters here are in Atlantic City and can't see your posts.
