Please be aware that auction:
5225399623 - (2) Old Baseball Photos psa T206 T205 1887 Ruth ?Goudey
in which you were a bidding participant, has been ended early by eBay for violating one or
more of our listing guidelines.
Because the auction was ended early, you as a bidder are not required to complete the
transaction. Since this is a listing violation, the seller is free to relist the item in the
proper format. Should you wish to do so, you are free to bid on the item again if it is
relisted.
If you care to review our listing guidelines for a better understanding of our auction
policies, they can be found at:

So I write back:
Dear Sir, What are you doing. This auction ran the full 7 days and ended August 8th. I made a paypal payment August 8th. Your telling me you canceled the auction 4 days after it ended? Are you on drugs? Are you going to give me my money back? This is about the stupidest thing I have ever seen. How do a cancel an auction 4 days after it ended. What the 7 days it ran wasnt enough time for you to spot something? I want an explaination and I want you to contact paypal for my credit on this account. Sincerly. Joe Brennan
Ps. I will be watching for my refund very closely.

    Ever think of counting to 10 before you push the send button?

    So you think cancelling an auction 4 days after it ended and I payed was ok, but only blasting my response? I thought it was appropriate considering the action. Out

  • I f'n hate it when eBay does that. How idiotic. Now you have no recourse from this fraudulent seller.

    If you think the seller is a fraud, I'd file an immediate claim with PayPal and include eBay's notice. But I wouldn't insult them while doing so.

    First off. The auction ran its full 7 days. The auction ended August 8th. I made a payment to a ligit seller on August 8th. The seller left feedback when he received the money. E-bay sent him and myself this e-mail on August 12th that they were ending the auction EARLY because of a listing violation. Early? 4 days after it ended is early, and of course after payment was made?
    Second, its an auto e-mail that says do not reply, so I was just venting to a puter how stupid I thought this was. I thought it was funny, sorry no one else found it that way.
    I contacted the seller and he already has mailed the items. I guess I'm the only 1 that finds it strange that they found a listing mistake 4 days after an auction ended.
    What if this was $2k item and I had sent a money order? The seller is under no obligation to complete the transaction and I would have no protection under e-bay. Do you see why this should upset all of us that use E-bay? Out
