about sellers who put products on auction then remove them

[tom_m_55]

I have just spent 4 days watching an auction to have the seller cancel it with 20 hours to go !! [the item number was 283519215610] a waste of 4 days !!!!  I have used ebay for many years and have seen this seller do this before , but this time i have found it VERY anoying , EBAY do you want any advise ???  If so it's sellers like this that is turning people OFF the EBAY brand !!!  people are turning to facebook market place hand over fist and when you have sellers like this that treat a auction as a joke you will be loosing many many more !!  I will be spending a lot less time on EBAY after this experience !!!

"I have just spent 4 days watching an auction"

You must be exhausted...you'll feel better after a good sleep.

Personally I think you dodged a bullet.

Would you really consider buying an item like that from Taiwan?

Belay that...I notice you do not worry about a seller's poor feedback.

It's been relisted 273181475861, but as tuckcase says you wouldn't be advised to be buying electrical equipment from a Asian seller - it's more than likely not certified for Australian Standards.

But Australian buyers go for the bargain.

They're not worried about their house burning down, as that is something that happens to somebody else.

You will need to contact eBay if you wish to give them advice,they do not read here

However eBay Australia can't and won't do anything about sellers in Asia

And of course sellers like this stay in business when people are only too happy to keep buying from them, despite the dangers and risks many of the items they sell carry and the sellers having hundreds of negs for never posting/selling rubbish/etc

Very few dodgey overseas sellers read this forum either, but nice of you to lump sellers who post here in with them
