I remember one person telling me she saw the same bag at the outlet in 1999 for $49, or something like that. Well, it isn't 1999 anymore, is it?

[emoji23] Wow. The logic behind it....
And we aren't in Kansas any more either.
How are sellers allowed to end an auction 5 minutes before it's supposed to end, because the price hasn't gone as high as they had hoped? WHAT?? This has happened to me several times as a bidder (the only bidder). If you have a reserve, then pay for the listing to say that.
They change name every 6 to 9 months. Does that "reset" their negative reviews to zero?
They still have to pay final value fees to ebay. That was a policy put in to prevent this from happening.
Thanks for that info. I just know that as a seller I would never do this. It's totally bogus and dishonest. I don't know what the seller says to eBay (do they have to give a reason?) but both times the sellers admitted to me that the price just wasn't high enough to suit them. Whatever.
The seller should have started their listing at the lowest price they will accept! What they did is very bad selling practice!
eBay do punish them by charging them a FVF. By the end of the day, the seller is the legal owner of the item and they do have rights to sell or not sell it.
Buyer made an offer.
I countered.
Buyer accepted my counteroffer.
NEVER paid and UID closed.
Why accept a counteroffer if you don't want the item?!?

When sellers get annoyed when you ask them for something to prove authenticity.
Like you’re asking $1k plus for a bag with no receipt and I’m supposed to believe you cos you condescendingly tell me there is a serial number and I can google all about them?
Or when they tell you “I don’t use fakes”
Ok......
Also been randomly blocked from bidding from this one seller. When I looked up if I ever spoke to her before I found the only communication was me asking for proof of authenticity to which she responded “if I did this bag would be a lot more expensive”. The bag was still a starting bid price of $700 (YSL bag, so maybe only $200 less than normal starting prices).
eBay, you get really random people on there.
I prefer to buy off Facebook groups now.

EBay messaging system has known to be very unreliable! There sellers who posted on here that they didn't always get notifications of new messages.
