EBAY!! THIS could happen to YOU!

Unbelievable!! So there I am sitting at my computer, surfing ebay. I find a 1975 Topps Complete Set, with a nice psa7 Brett. Overall the set seems minty with nicely centered cards.....perfect for upgrading.
Anyway I put in a low bid of 210.00........I am watching the auction and time runs out and BINGO!!! I win. Green banner pops up from ebay, says "you won this item" Item is listed as sold. I won it for 204 and some change. THEN when I go to my home page I am told "sorry you didn't win" I go back to the ended auction and see a final selling price of 270 or there abouts.
WHAT A BUMMER!!! Informed by ebay that I won and item sold to me for my winning bid!! WTF?? Oh well I really didn't want or need another 75 set . %#$@ Ebay! Sending out a winning notice and then renegging! Dave Pierson.

What a reply. I never had it happen to me, but I stopped using ebay quite awhile ago. "Sorry, it happens" I'd ask "please explain how?".
