    Now isn't this a piece of shit person. ebay scam happening to me

    ok, many of you know I collect high end cig lighters.

    I bid this lighter

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3267232074

    and my bid cap was $2500. all week it stayed at $1150 (my bid) till the last second when someone came in and bid $2550.

    ok, i lost the lighter - no biggie.


    here's where it gets interesting. The NEXT day I get this email.
    Hello!

    You are the second bidder in my auction #3267232074
    Unfortunately the highest bidder has some problems with the payment. Let me know if you're still interested in this item. I look forward to hearing from you soon

    Thanks


    ok, me thinks something is up but I respond telling her I'm more than happy to pay $1150, my last real bid before the FAKE bidder.
    She responds with


    Hello Scott!
    I like to sell this item for your last bid price #2,500.00 including
    shipping cost&insurance.Item will be sent on 1-2 day
    after payment confirmation.If you
    feel confident about my
    proposal I'll
    send you all needed details to make a transaction.Awaiting your reply.
    Thanks



    my last bid was $1150, and she should have NEVER known what my max bid on this item was. I left thinking that she used a friend to find out how much my max bid was to milk me out of as much money as possible - which is a scam an illegial according to ebay's rules.


    i send her a reply telling her I'll only pay $1150, and if she refuses I'll report her to ebay and the police for running a scam.



    fuck do scammers ever piss me off.

    Umm Ebay lists your highest bid once someone goes over it. Of course she knows what it was.

          dang, she's got a 100% positive feedback on 758 sales,

          seems odd she would try that with you

                I would do the same, 1150$ or report to ebay.

                If I was an ass, id say 1000$, take it or leave it.

                        e-bay is a game, the high bider may have been phony. just to push your price up, happens all the time.

                          Thats why you should always use a proxy bidding website . They don't charge much but your bid is only placed 6 seconds before the end of the auction .

                                Nasty scum sucking bitch. Tell her to shove that lighter where the sun don't shine. Or, like the previous poster, just tell her to auction it again. She'll never get $2500

                                  you have no proof she is scamming you. its a possibility, but no proof. i sell all kinds of stuff on ebay and i've always had people back out.

                                    Only a complete retard would pay $2k for a lighter (even if he's got money coming outa his ass)

                                    Carry on morans.

                                      I got scammed on ebay for $1k...... Ebay and Paypal were of no help in resolving the situation.

                                        Doesn't Ebay have procedures to crack down on such sleazy tactics?

                                        I bid this lighter

                                        http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3267232074

                                        and my bid cap was $2500. all week it stayed at $1150 (my bid) till the last second when someone came in and bid $2550.

                                        ok, i lost the lighter - no biggie.


                                        here's where it gets interesting. The NEXT day I get this email.
                                        Hello!

                                        You are the second bidder in my auction #3267232074
                                        Unfortunately the highest bidder has some problems with the payment. Let me know if you're still interested in this item. I look forward to hearing from you soon

                                        Thanks


                                        ok, me thinks something is up but I respond telling her I'm more than happy to pay $1150, my last real bid before the FAKE bidder.
                                        She responds with


                                        Hello Scott!
                                        I like to sell this item for your last bid price #2,500.00 including
                                        shipping cost&insurance.Item will be sent on 1-2 day

                                        feel confident about my
                                        proposal I'll
                                        send you all needed details to make a transaction.Awaiting your reply.
                                        Thanks



                                        my last bid was $1150, and she should have NEVER known what my max bid on this item was. I left thinking that she used a friend to find out how much my max bid was to milk me out of as much money as possible - which is a scam an illegial according to ebay's rules.


                                        i send her a reply telling her I'll only pay $1150, and if she refuses I'll report her to ebay and the police for running a scam.



                                        fuck do scammers ever piss me off.

                                            If I was an ass, id say 1000$, take it or leave it.
                                            then she contacts siletflame instead..and Sleazy is left with a red face.

                                                  your not obligated to purchase it.

                                                  tell her $1150 or auction it again

                                                    You are not obligated to accept her second chance offer.

                                                    The fact that the high bidder backed out is suspicious, but it doesn't look like shill bidding to me. buylighter is obviously a lighter collector with a high feedback, and buys lighters from many different sellers:

                                                    http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws1/eBayISAPI.d...&all=1&rows=25

                                                    ...only bidding on an auction by this seller the one time, in the past month or so.

                                                    However, it could be a case of finding something out about the lighter after he won it... Something that makes it worth less than he thought. Or he could have had problems with the payment, like she said.

                                                    I would personally ask her to relist it, and then not bid my max until the last 10 seconds of the auction.

                                                      Almost forgot... Do you have any idea where the bid was at when the reserve was met? She probably won't sell it for less than her reserve price.

                                                        But it sounds like ebay showed how much your cap was and the seller saw that. Maybe not though. you should get it checked out.

                                                            $2k for a lighter is just plain silly, but if its a collection hobby if yours go ahead.

                                                            Often times I wonder why
                                                            There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                                                            When sickness comes I must decide:
                                                            When feelings go, theres suicide.
