2 lots ended early - is it ok to do?
Posted By: steve
Sorry if there have been other posts about this subject, but it now affected me directly as I was going to make strong late bids. |

No, it's not OK, but it's the way it is. As long as bidders wait until the last possible moment before entering anything that resembles what the item in question is actually worth, some sellers will panic. The paranoia over shilling and the desire to get an item at a bargain basement price is the price a bidder must sometimes pay for letting an item sit for days at a cheap level without stepping up to the plate. |

I can tell you that the seller made a mistake letting that Domino Disc Cobb go early. |

Some one just picked up a whole album of tobacco cards on ebay. The auction could not have been on more than 2 hours. I read it and then went back to write the seller for some info and it had been taken off. |

In certain cases I have emailed a seller and told them that if someone made an offer to them to end the auction that I would hope they would contact me for a counteroffer first. |

Sure--why not? Happens a lot and just another competitive tool. |

Bid high early and then set the snipe, otherwise the seller will get cold feet and shut down the auction. |

Yes...another auction on my snipe list ended early today with one day to go. No bids had been placed. I emailed the seller, but they have not responded yet. |

Unless the listing was removed by ebay as an invalid listing, it will show up in the closed auctions. |

Originally, I felt that it is OK to end early since a fair offer is a guaranteed profit but as time goes on, I think so many people snipe, it is very difficult to tell what your item/lot will end up with until the very end so now I really do not think it is prudent. |
