Can sellers yank auctions on ebay?

Ok, so I'm probably just a bit personally upset, but I was high bidder on the T206 set that just vanished with less than 1 day left in the bidding. Is it eBay's generally accepted practice to allow sellers to cancel an auction if they don't like the price action?

They own it till its sold so i personally dont see anything wrong with it.

edited to add: and yes it does happen all the time.

that he really wants to sell the lot. When he showed the Wagner on the Gallery pic it made people believe it was part of the set. He says he listed in the description that a re-print Wagner is included but still...

And yes, i believe he can end it 12 hours before it ends, not sure though...

He probably found a buyer...and decided to make the transaction off ebay.....why not? He's only liable for a $4.80 listing fee....all that seller fee money stays in his pocket. Would piss off a bunch of folks...but oh well I guess.

What he saved in selling fees he probably lost twice over by selling it too cheaply.

once in a while there is a need to and I will pull and make a discussion, but should not be done all the time, because eBay keeps track of what you end early

That item just was re-listed as a buy it now or best offer.
