At the end of the day mate if it sold for £800 he would have gone through with the deal.
I think you should pay through PayPal and make it as awkward as fook for him, that way you can leave negative feedback saying how you feel.

Unfortunately not. The seller does not have to sell, he simply clicks on whatever reason he decides as to why the item is no longer for sale and that's that. Crap isn't it.

I'm sure that only applies up to the last 12 or 24 hours before end date/time.
The auction end is the same as the hammer being hit at an auction house, if the item has had bids or reached its reserve, that item is sold and it forms a contract.

Right, well there have been a few messages passed between myself and the seller this evening, to cut a long story short, he basically said the frames been sold and when I said i'd report him his exact words were 'crack on mate'
people like him make me sick.
As for paying for the frame, I really don't fancy letting this guy know where I live, he seems a bit demented, and stated from his first message that if I paid he would just refund it. The worst thing about this is he thinks I can't see through his lies!
He even said 'don't worry I've already spoken to ebay' as if!!
unluckily for him I have spoken to ebay and can still leave him feedback, utter bell end and I hope he's reading this post
although when I told him i'd shame him on the public forum he wasn't in the slightest bit bothered

The guy just got greedy and seduced by the money.
Get used to it, in all honesty eBay can be a double edge sword, I've had some great stuff off it, but also had a nightmare with some sales, you don't know who you're buying from, very often what you get isn't exactly what you bought, and I've had the same with a guy on here. Won an auction for a set of minty blue mx1000's, cables and levers, and then he wont sell them, punted them about on here, and then tried to sell them to me again when they didn't sell. All after the most buck. There used to be a bad sellers list on here at one stage.
There seem to be so many people after these parts / frames etc that lots of deals are done well before the auction ends.
For me, I really don't use uk eBay for auctions, just buy it now items that are cheaper than the high street, but I use usa eBay all the time, those guys are a lot more honest.
