You should report him, you may find you have legal rights as eBay auctions are legal contracts!

Looks like a good boat, and even better for £104!

Do as Neil suggests and see what eBay will do for you.

It does look like the seller ended the auction before time ran out. "Winning bid" just means that you were the current high bidder. You only win if the clock ticks down 100%.

I fb this is another example of panic buying 

I was panic buying bacon today and I thought Tesco had made it just for you, but when I put my glasses on it said ‘thick cut’ 🤣🤣🤣

I was of the opinion that to cancel a listing you had to remove bids. I've always been told bid removed or the whole thing just vanishes...... Deffo worth a shout with ebay tho, if it did run til end it's legally binding

Does look like you won it.

[Odyssey]

If it’s sea worthy let me know and can have a look as Bridgend is not far away 🙂 

As it stands report him to eBay, it’s a bargain and it’s his fault for listing work no reserve….

 

[Saintly Fish]

Yep, you won it so you should get it. Report him instantly.

TIme for the Outlaws to spring into action and make the seller's life a misery until he hands it over. Or if all else fails, send @Odyssey round with a cordless drill...

[suzook12]

Guess we never saw that one coming, Pete on a new boat mission!!

Keep us posted Pete, you should have a real bargain there

[suzook12]

Make sure you pay as well..... Otherwise they could raise a non payment against you

[Andy135]

I think you should see this through Pete. You stand to gain a nice boat, and if it needs lots of work you'd be able to move it on for a profit without even touching it.

Pete, go to the Help section on "my eBay". The search for report a seller. 
there is a step by step guide. Make a note of the item number to put in your complaint along with the seller details. Also if required send the screen shot of the ended item page! 
And please (don't take this the wrong way) make sure you do a spell check before sending. The more official you are the more they are likely to listen. Dont over do it, but be direct and straight to the point. 
There is also the facility to get them to call you about a complaint!

In the words of else, let I gooooo

Can't believe you think someone would let that go for 100 quid ffs

Would you ?

Johnny, your missing the point here. An eBay auction is a legally binding contract. If Pete wins the auction (which it appears he did) then the seller is obliged to follow through with the sale. 
Ok, will Pete get a £10k boat for £100, probably not no. But it will atleast educate a numpty on the ways of his mistake. 
But, on the other hand.......🤷🏻‍♂️

It comes down to the simple fact that it is not worth all the hassle knowing that you are not going to win. 

Best to keep your sanity and walk away. 😉

Agreed, but is it worth the hassle of trying to rob someone of their boat

The seller obviously isn't ebay savvy and in my opinion, to try and get it for that sort of money is a bit shitty 

Put yourselves in the sellers shoes

BTW, i have no connection/interest in the boat/seller

[captin slows old outlaw]

yes yes i know but if i don't make a point of it anyone can take away what you win because the seller dose not like the price so if that was the case would you bother biding for any item. i don't wont the boat how wold i get it here where would i put it it is just the principal of it.it makes action a farce i have sold things by auction and not to happy about the price but i still sent the items

He's not trying to "rob" someone of their boat, he won it fairly and squarely!

The seller isn't ebay savvy? Hmmmmm as the seller is a business seller with around 1500 positive feedback I somehow doubt that.....

 

Heres how it works at a normal auction:

Winning bidder is asked to pay, if it transpires the winning bidder was a bid runner and does one, the 2nd highest bidder gets the option. If you're not happy about the amount of bids against the runner, the item will go through again. No matter what it sells for, it sells as long as it's above the sellers reserve.

With ebay, the seller enters into an agreement with ebay as does the seller. This seller is in clear breach of those terms and conditions, and unless people do something about it, the practice will continue....... It's not as if we're talking about a mass produced item that can easily be bought somewhere else for similar price.

It's the sellers fault. If they hadn't mentioned they were looking for £10k more people would have undoubtedly bid on it, probably expecting the item to be pulled 24 hours before end time (as IS allowed).

I'm going to contact the guy with some cock n bull story and see what he comes up with.......
