I was biding for an item and i was oudbid and the seller after two days told me that i won that item. I send the seller an email that i dont want the item with no reply. Now the seller open a case against me. How can ebay allow the seller to do that. If the seller is allowd to force items on byers then i am sorry but i have to leave ebay. Item no 252533151522 Baltic amber gemstone 925 sterling silver neclaces set-463.

It states in the rules you can still become the winning bidder after being outbid if another bidder retracts their bid.

It also shows this underneath items your bidding on in My eBay page.

 

" If you've been outbid, you may still become the high bidder if, for example, the seller cancels a bid received by another bidder or lowers a reserve price."

 

Only having one unpaid case on your account won't affect your ability to buy or sell on eBay.
