Andy135 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Looks like a good boat, and even better for £104! Do as Neil suggests and see what eBay will do for you. Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintly Fish Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 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%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 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….

Andy135 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 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.

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! captin slows old outlaw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.......🤷🏻♂️ captin slows old outlaw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
