What happened to the eBay Seller alert thread?

I can't find it now.
Wanted to mention this:
I was the high bidder on this card last week and up until the auction was supposed to end a few hours ago. Then I get an E-mail from eBay saying my bid had been cancelled and the seller pulled it. Then I E-mailed the seller nd he said he pulled it because he had an offer of $2,500 and it's sold. Then I get an alert that it's for sale with a BIN price of $5K. All BS and very shady IMO.
As much as I'm interested in this card, it's all rubbing me the wrong way as a little unethical, as I think I would have won it for less and he is now trying to get more

<< <i>Well, I agree with the idea of encouraging buyers to do future deals offline, or even agreeing to a BO that you ahndle via the site. IMO however, once you add a listing you have a moral obligation to adhere to the terms and conditions you agreed to when you added the listing. >>
Absolutely agree with you.

On top of that, he E-mails me and tells me he sold it for 2,500 and it resurfaces the next day, and then the whole "i'll just throw it in my shoebox if I don't sell it" stuff. It's all red flags and I think people should tread lightly

<< <i>I agree. Dude probably researched stuff and realized what a rare card he has, didn't like the number the card was at and pulled it. Unethical in my book.
I don't see how it is unethical. Like you said, he did some research and found that he has a very rare card and does not want to let it go for cheap. I think you are just a bit upset that you did not get it for $2,500. It is still his card to do with what he likes.
<< <i>I look at it this way: It is his card until you pay for it and receive it. If he wants to put his phone number, address, favorite ice cream and first pet's name in the listing; go ahead. If he is fishing for bids that is his right to do so as well. I don't blame a seller for getting as much as he can for an item. I will bid to where I feel comfortable, If I don't get it; that life, it is only a piece of cardboard with a picture of a player on it. >>
great answer!!
