Bidding

Hey all, I was bidding on a few items that I was winning for under the value of the product!! The seller had the correct item discription etc everything they needed to have to auction off the items!! The seller has now cancelled all my bids and taken down the products my thoughts being because he didn’t get the amount he was after for them!! My question is, is that allowed or not? As I can’t contact eBay and the bot is useless

" I was winning for under the value of the product! "

 

Was it a new seller who started the auction too low ?

 

eBay will tell you the following but in reality, the seller will  use one of these reasons even if it was because the bids weren't high enough.

 

To try to prevent potential buyers from being disappointed, we discourage the cancelling of bids unless absolutely necessary. However, you can cancel a bid when:

  • A buyer requests you cancel their bid and you agree
  • You have to end the listing early because the item is no longer available for sale
  • You made an error in the listing
  • You're concerned the bid may be from a fraudulent buyer
