But seriously, I am seeing more and more of these come up lately. As a seller, I have to wonder what these other sellers are thinking. I mean, the way I look at it is that a buyer would not offer to buy the item unless the seller's price was way off and the seller would not be well served in ending early, especially since I have to believe that the private offer is going to be less than the potential market result.
I think ebay should not allow an auction to be ended early once a bid has been placed, unless it also allows each bidder to "ding" the feedback record of the seller, without retaliation.
