At the risk of sounding like an idiot, which hasnt stopped me before, according to ebay's term and conditions


A sale on ebay is a buying agreement.

Taken from ebay for buyers:

"You enter into a legally binding contract to purchase an item when you commit to buy an item or if you have the winning bid (or your bid is otherwise accepted)."


Taken from ebay for sellers:

"Sellers aren't allowed to cancel bids and end listings early in order to avoid selling an item that did not meet a desired sale price. This is considered to be a violation of our reserve price policy."

"If the listing ends and there is a winning bidder: Contact the bidder and explain the situation. If you and the bidder agree not to complete the sale, you can cancel the transaction from My eBay. "

Is this punishable or enforceable in a court of law?


If so how would be damages be calculated? Say a pricing error for card was at $200, and according to the last vcp sales the card sells for $10,000?


Not that I would pursue legal action against a seller unless it was a huge amount like the example above, but just out of curiosity what would happen?



I'd vote the judge throws you out for wasting time and the attorneys on both sides get paid!
