I don't see what the big problem is. Their bike parts not an needed body organ where your going to die without it. Sometime I have things listed up on eBay,n CL on the forum. If I can sell it on CL or here instead of ebay I'll cancel the auction and sell it to avoid fees or to deal with shipping. If the item has a bid I leave it and let it run it's course. Though recently the issue came up as why would anyone bid on something to before the auction is anywhere close to ending? We'll you stop the possibility of someone getting the item on a BIN. I recently got a message from a seller that looked like a absolute nightmare. Just a massive pile of questions that were either answered in the description or related to how I would ship my product and could I ship it to them for free even though I had a set price listed down. I answered their questions but instantly put them on my blocked buyers list.

I see buyers like them that are usually never happy with what they get no matter what they receive and just a bare to work with. My last negative was with a buyer like that. I had a bicycle listed up and it was already disassembled and packed into a box so I could figure out pricing. Though a price was listed up and was a set price. Well the buyer sniped it at the very last second with no contact to me before it ended. Then came the worst of any buyers I've ever had for the ten years I've been on ebay with over 2000 transactions. He told me to break the box down to a specific size box and told me what the price will be even though the bicycle was already packaged up. I told him the price was set and included my time and material used to ship the bike. He received the bike without any damage and even after chopping the box up to fit his measurements the price wasn't the same. Thus he received the item and was happy with it but left me a negative for not shipping it to him for his price.

If I listed something up drastically lower and found out it was worth more. Hell yeah I would pull it down or leave it up and bump up the price. Ebay allows you to adjust the price until I believe 24 hours before it ends or after someone places a bid. So for those who don't like to bid until the last second and snipe then it's your own fault to try and get that killer deal. You snooze and lose and should of put your bid in. I don't however claim something is lost or damage if someone wins the auction. Regardless you still get your money back ASAP and I don't sit on it like I've had happen before.

There's always two sides to an auction from the buyer and sellers point of view.
