A Brake Doktor on Ebay

It may not have sold-sometimes sellers are reluctant to let an item sell for their opening bid, expecting much higher bidding to have taken place.

I wonder if someone threw in a bid just to start it, could he still have sold it locally?

Probably yes, as I've seen things pulled with phoney excuses listed for the reason.

Yes Tom we all have and I rarely bid on their items again. If they can do it once they can do it again. I consider them to be Scammers ! Play by their rules or they take the gat and ball and go home ?

Isn't that against ebay policy and what gets sellers banned?

I have an antique key cutter that I tried twice to sell on ebay, but ebay pulled it after a couple days listing, calling it a burglary tool, and against ebay's policy. Only a fool would consider an antique key cutter a burglary tool.

I didn't try selling it a third time, because someone emailed me stating that I could get banned after 3 tries.
 
Tom, EBay has a rule against selling Key cutters and guns. But check out all the code books sold on there. If its listed as an antique car tool you may not be bothered. I have seen guys sell all the carriages, #14 wheels, code books, and spare keys, and claim they can't sell cutter. But thru a private message the seller agrees to include it. Go figure
 
when listing on ebay, you can include a disclaimer that states you have it for sale locally and may at your discretion end the listing early. Many who list do this, to provide an out,
should they get a better offer or have a change of heart.
Nothing is written in stone with ebay and there are always ways to move around their "requirements".
Many of the bylaws of ebay are good, and some not so good............ just depends how you view things in life.
