Yipes, I have an expensive set of neon manufacturing equipment for sale that ends tonight. While the current bid is at %500.00 and has been for a number of days the auction has over 300 hits. So I'm confident there are snipers waiting. Since eBay seems to be dead as a doorknob and my auction ends in about 1 hour am I required to sell at the current price? How about even if ebay gets back online just before the auction ends. Hysterical here. advice please. Mike Oldsiver1 on ebay

The high bidder will hold you to there winning bid. inless eaby is down a few hours the auction will end while they are down.

mike, unless you are lucky enough for ebay to come up soon enough that you can cancel all bids and end auction your out of luck. Unless ebay extends auctions which is not very likely. Even if you can do this, you still run the risk of upsetting the current high bidder and losing them completely.

Well, right now ebay seems to be working so I am breathing again. Still, I have no idea if any bidders saw that ebay was down and just quit trying. From now on anytime I list anything worth over a few dollars I am putting a disclaimer in my ad concerning ebay outages. Don't know if that meets legal requirements or eBays TOS but at least I will have something. Still hopeful of a snipe. Oldsilver1
