HELP-need ruling on E-Bay handles this

The high bidder is no longer a registered user. To me that would mean that E-Bay should negate his bid, but that is just me thinking. Does someone have to top his bid to win the item?

I am sure this is not the first time that this has happened. Anyone know the ruling.

Thanks

I thought once someone was NARUed, their bids/auctions were deleted as well.

This is direct from the ebay "not a registered user" section. It clearly states in the last part of the paragraph that they are not allowed to buy or sell. You could contact ebay and ask how this bid was possible or ask the buyer to contact ebay and correct the situation.

Note: "Not a registered user" can refer to members who have cancelled their membership, or whose membership has been suspended by eBay. For example, a member whose correct contact information is no longer on file with us may have their registration suspended until the new contact information is entered. In either case, the member appears as "not a registered user" and is not allowed to buy or sell on eBay.
