Hi, just theoretically won an auction, but...!
... The seller re listed the item.
It went like this. I bid on an item, and about 1hr before, the only bidder higher than me pulls out mysteriously. So, I get a Aw Bid change notice timed at that, saying I am now the highest bidder, congratulations!.
So, no one else bids hereafter, and yes, I won the item, but no further info or contact from the seller appears. I look today, and lo and behold, there the item is, relisted.
I guess they didn't get the price they wanted, but hey, it happened to me, $120 down on what I wanted for something I auctioned last year, but rules are rules, and the bidder got a nice new shiny item. I lost out, but kept to the rules.
I should have done it their way, and did a dodgy bid to see if I could be provoked into bidding more, but I set my limit, and didn't bite. Guess what, their phantom bidder retracted, and left me with the item, before the auction ended..... Or not!.
Beware bidders, it's not a real auction at times, or in this case, it appears not, even though it is ruled to be is my take.
Anyway, of course I contacted the seller, asked the obvious, and got told there are no bids on it yet..... Oopps, there is, and all invisible to the seller too!.
Contacted EBay, got a "we are investigating this.." pacification.
Item still up to be sold if they get what they want, with an invisible reserve!.
