Ever lose an eBay auction while going through the BIN process?

An item was listed today that I was very excited to purchase. Been looking for it for over a year. On quadruple bucks day! As I am starting the BIN process it suddenly changes to auction ended. I checked with the seller and he said it had just sold.

Has this ever happened to you? Anyone know if this is possible up until payment is actually processed? I would presume so.

This really ruined my day (and night). I don't know if I will ever see an example this nice. I'd rather not discuss the details. It was a piece of sports memorabilia.

It happens to me all the time. During the recent quad days, it has happened more than once. You gotta remember, you're not the only one looking for a deal due to the quad bucks. I would say it has happened to me at least a few dozen times.

I hit the BIN on a 76 Concepcion PSA 10 awhile back and someone snagged it a second before me

They say misery loves company, but I wasn't expecting a few dozen times worth. Man, that is horrible! I guess I don't tend to chase things that are as closely followed (I do not have any registry sets, for example).

It just happened to me 5 minutes ago

I was on the 4 Sharp Corners website and clicked on the pay now button in my cart, and got a message telling me to remove a "sold out item".

Then I went to ebay, found the same card there, clicked buy it now, and was told that the seller had ended the item since it was no longer available

If you read at the top of the payment confirmation page, it states something about the item being available until payment has cleared.
