Sign-in to Contact Seller, or Leave Feedback... even when already signed in... is this new?

About the same time as the sign-in redirect scare happened over the past week, I noticed eBay now asks for me to sign in when I choose to Contact Seller from an item page (not at first, only after the saying 'no' to the suggested answers and asking f...

newbie's (?) auction with both Best Offer and reserve

This is the second time recently I have come across a new (or just low FB) seller using a reserve. Until now I haven't seen a reserve in years. I am now looking at an auction which is almost ended with no bids. It has Best Offer and a reserve. I am c...

Resolved! Can I exclude private listings from search?

I've recently learned that so called private listings are getting more common on eBay. I can see absolutly no reason (exept unusual items like adult stuff) why a seller makes feedback details unavailable for me to review. Since I buy fairly expensive...

Resolved! Seller cancelled order after accepting my offer?

So the seller cancelled an order after accepting my offer. I saw an email saying that the item is damaged or out of stock after I had paid for the item. It seems fishy because he was saying it was in stock just a few minutes earlier via message and t...

Resolved! Bidding anomaly

I recently tried to bid for an item and realised there appeared to be a way of somebody blocking others from making a successful bid. It seems to me that if a bidder puts in a 'highest bid' of a ridiculous amount e.g. £1,000 (for an item worth circa ...
