ebay AGAIN
First of all let me say I haven't frequented ebay in about a year and a half because I have never had a transaction go as it should and ebay just doesn't seem to care.
I just won a bid on a car. When I contacted the seller he decided he wanted $4,200 more than my winning bid.
I did not find this lising until about 2 hours before it was scheduled to end and the listing showed that his reserve had been reduced and it also said that the next bid would meet reserve. I placed a bid and "won".
When I contacted him he said he didn't know how the reserve had gotten dropped that low. He admitted to reducing the reserve, just not to that level.
I used the Live Help button and spent a frustrating 5 minutes while a double talk agent basically said there was nothing that ebay would or could do and I should just tough it out.
Other than the obvious answer of never using eBay does anyone have any constructive advise on how to get him to honor the bid?

I think the most you can do is really leave bad feedback and deal with it. Find another car. I don't think there is a way to "make" the seller sell you the car at the price, other than the threat of bad feedback.

A year and a half ago the police department in the small city I lived in outside of Dallas said they got over 1,000 eBay complaints a month.
These weren't complaints like, "ohh it's not working right" but actual criminal complaints.
There should be some way to make people perform &/or rid the world of the scum. I know, I'll sic Denny Crane on them!!!

if that guy refuses to sell you the car all you can really do is leave bad feedback and move on.....
do you have a link?
i have been on ebay since 1997 and have only had 2 bad experiences out of thousands of purchases and sales (mostly purchases).
