Default Fu*&ing Ebay......AGAIN!!!!

why the fook do people put thing on ebay if they are not going to sell them for the price the auction makes, have they not heard of a reserve price or maybe increasing the starting bid?

and the other thing that gets me is, after a few beers i quite often buy shit on ebay i dont need, but there is no function to cancel your bid, yet these tossers selling stuff can cancel at any time!

Also people always put "also for sale elsewhere so may be removed" or similar on there these days.
You know full well they only put that so they dont end up having to sell their priceless gear for fuck all.

The way I see it, its the gamble you take. If you're not willing to sell your 50 inch plasma for 50p you should have put a reserve on it.
