I kind of hate/love this seller.
His procurement of items is a testament to how many people do no research at all on what they own and 'swing at the first pitch' selling it. Than this guy just does a massive ebay dump saying essentially 'the photos are the description'... it is far from the curated world where the better watches will eventually land, but it's fun to watch from the sidelines and an 'opportunity' to get a decent deal IF you know your stuff. |

The bidding has gone over $100k.

Ebay realized it was too big a risk to cover

Too risky for them.

Auction house.
Ebay won’t take risk at over $100k.

You would think that with his selling history and the volume of sales this guy does eBay would accommodate him. Any chance he pulled it and made a deal with one of bidders on the side? Or once you list it you can’t take it down?

You can take it down, but you get penalty points.

No, Im local to him and he runs a legit business, ive contacted him to try and meet for cash sales so he doesnt have to report the income and i dont have to pay tax and he refused.

If you lead with that proposal then he probably declined thinking you were with the government.

If I had $150k to spare and knew about vintage Daytonas, I would definitely take my chances on that watch. Maybe one of the bidders can chime in on its status or give their opinion. |

That can’t be even legal can it? They assume you sold it and charge commission? No contract to show amounts and buyer, so they basically just steal money? No chance IMO. And I’ve taken plenty of items down in the last 16 years for legit reasons. |

In regards to this PN Daytona, I speculate ebay brought this listing down. Seller seems to do things by the book, and I imagine his inbox was flooded with tons of proposals for cash deals etc, would of been a hell of a final value fee. Just my 2 cents |

Per Ebay Fees Ending an auction-style listing early once it has received a bid can lead to disappointed and frustrated buyers who may be less likely to bid on listings the next time around. For this reason, we may charge a fee if you end a listing early. This fee is equal to the final value fee you would have paid if the listing had ended on its own and sold for the highest bid received at the time you ended the listing. We charge this fee if you cancel bids and end an auction-style listing early without a buyer. We don't charge this fee if you end an auction-style listing early and sell to the high bidder. (In this case, normal final value fees apply.) This fee doesn't apply to listings in the Real Estate and the Classified Ads selling format. Because we understand that sometimes it may be necessary to end a listing early, we don't charge a fee for the first auction-style listing you end early (where a fee applies) per calendar year (January 1 to December 31). How to end a listing early To end a listing early and cancel all bids or sell to the high bidder: Go to My eBay > Selling and find the item. From the More actions drop-down menu, select End My Listing Early. If there are bids on your item, choose how you want to end your listing. If there are 12 or more hours before the end of the listing, select Cancel bids and end listing early or Sell item to high bidder. If there are fewer than 12 hours before the end of the listing, your only option is Sell item to high bidder. Note: If your item has no bids, you can skip this step Select the reason you're ending your listing early and click End My Listing. Your listing ends and is no longer active on eBay. If you end a listing with bids, we send bidders who didn't win an email explaining that their bid was canceled and that the listing ended early.

After reading the above I’m thinking eBay took it down for whatever reason. Don’t think this guy would risk having to pay s fee on that big a sale without actually having a sale.
Let’s see if he realists it at a buy price instead of auction. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Well that’s ambiguous at best though. “May charge a fee”. Perhaps that’s if they check messages and see it was sold out of eBay? Can’t say I’ve ever noticed a fee from genuinely cancelling auctions. Otherwise you could be selling an expensive vase, you accidentally smash it when taking pics of the base for an interested buyer and end the auction. Then that means eBay would charge you £250 (think it’s capped charge?) just for ending the auction? I’m really disillusioned with eBay recently anyway, I’ve just found out they’re banning any sales related to a gun! No more pellets, scopes, cleaning kits, slings, bipods, night vision! The world has gone snowflake crazy and it’s getting pathetic! |

That's what you can do when you are the world's largest monopsony. What other business can raise there rate from $.10 (the original listing fee) to $1'000 (if you sell a $7'000 item today) You know those boring emails they send you. You should really read them. They spelled this policy out a couple of years ago. Just Google, eBay fees for ending item early. Another little secret most people don't notice. If you sell international there is another 5% in fees. Even USA to Canada. There is no business that runs rough shod over there clients like eBay. |

Here is the eBay quote:
ebay charges 10% FVF on the transaction: item price + shipping. These fees are charged to your account and you are billed either the 15th or 30th of each month. You can select to cancel all the current bids and end the listing. You will be charged a penalty equal to 10% of the highest bid. |

And as I mentioned earlier, than scan your emails.
They will not allow you to send private email addresses or phone numbers in an attempt to prevent private transactions outside the eBay forum. |

Recently we sold a pair of sunglasses to a buyer overseas.
we use eBay's global shipping and they are supposed to send the buyer an invoice. the buyer said she never received an invoice, we asked eBay what to do and they said we needed to talk to global shipping about that. by the time we'd get a response eBay would file a claim against our buyer so we just canceled the transaction. we got a notification that it appeared we were trying to sell the item outside of eBay and they were charging us a commission on it. Thank you again eBay. |
