Sneaky Sellers

[Archive]

Posted By: Dan Bretta

Anyone ever have a seller completely change everything in an auction that you had a snipe set on?

This auction was originally a circa 1930s Des Moines baseball player photo and as I was checking my snipes tonight I noticed a Walter Alston card that I didn't place a snipe on...so I clicked on the auction and the seller had completely changed everything in the auction tonight.

Here's the auction as it stands now...there is no way to retrieve what it originally was.

What's interesting is that this is the second time it has happened to me today where it has never happened to me in 9 years on ebay. The first time I noticed a complete auction change was from Tobeeecat, but I did not have a snipe set on that one, I only had it in my watchlist and I can't even remember what the original item was, but noticed that there was something in my watchlist that I know I didn't put there.

I wonder what these sellers would do in the case of someone setting a snipe and not checking on it until after the auction was over???
