The biggest load of Ebay BS ever...

So, at 12:52pm, my PSA 8 1960 Al Kaline closes it's auction @ $609. It is a very sharp card. At 1:19pm , I get this message from ebay:
Dear hustledouble,

What kind of BS is that? Within 30 minutes the high bidder realized that someone else hijaked his account and reported it? Was this just some jerk who got cold feet?

How can ebay allow this to go down? This is a link to the new auction: 1960 Al Kaline PSA 8

<< <i>So you're saying that he set his bid in the sniping program and it misfired...and then he claimed he got hacked? If that's the case, that's pretty crappy. It's a damn nice card and there certainly were some aggressive bidders that wanted one that nice badly. >>
No, eBay or the sniping service interpreted that is was a hacked account, when it was not. It is not the fault of the bidder, unless he renegs on the deal. Just process the winning bid accordingly. On the bidder's side, there is a couple of steps he/she needs to do (like change password) but when it happened to me, I contacted eBay Security and they were able to reset things for me.
Here was my thread
<< <i>He claimed that he got 200 emails from ebay and that he had no idea about what happened. That soundy fishy. >>
If he had that many snipes set, that makes sense. Just give him an invoice and follow the instructions I talked about earlier.
<< <i>I also had a zero feeback bidder on my Norm Cash the day before and I specifically say "no zero feedback bidders". I'm sure that happends from time to time, but I'm begining to think it's a conspiracy. OK maybe not. Maybe it's a rival seller upset that I'm selling such nice cards? >>
There is no way to block buyers with zero feedback from bidding. In fact many times they turn out to be great. As a buyer is I see that I usually hit the back button myself unless it is something I really need. Sellers who do that seem to petty for me.
ebay i.d. clydecoolidge - Lots of vintage stars and HOFers, raw, condition fully disclosed.
Many veteran Ebayers will create new IDs for bidding. I had a regular customer with over 1000 positives the other day bid on my items with a new ID he told me he just wanted to hide what he was buying so he got the buying ID.
As a seller I have never understood what is accomplished when a zero contacts you before bidding, how does this make him any more likely to pay?

I had one cancelled like that back in August that was won by one of my regs, he paid and was happy so it was not a big deal.
