I contacted the seller a few days ago about this, as I noticed the past two VCP sales were of this same card.
Here was his response. I don't know him, but it seems like his reason is legit and honest.
... In October I listed the card and the auction ended at $283 - buyer never paid after 2 weeks of emails asking for payment. I blocked the buyer and re-listed the card a couple weeks later. The same buyer created a new profile (using a similar username so I knew it was him) and continued to bid on the card again. I blocked him again and canceled his bid. He created a third new profile using a similar username and continued to bid on the card. In any event, I had to cancel his numerous bids which manipulated the outcome of the auction. Never had that happen to me before so I really didn't know how to handle it. Now I don't think I want to sell on Ebay anymore, so I will try here.
The first auction,
here, ended on 10/2 to a bidder with just 24 feedback, for $283.
Then came this auction,
here, where a new bidder(s), with 0 feedback kept bidding and those bids were retracted on different days.
His story does add up. I won't comment on how the second auction should have been handled because I dont know how (much) the bids manipulated the auction. Either way, it seems as though the second auction was tainted by a bidder with a vendetta.
