I thought everyone could use a laugh. I had two items listed on ebay in the same category. They were similar to each other. One was ending in 1 hour and the other had another 5 days to go. One bidder bid on both items. I received an email from this person DEMANDING that I end the second auction early so they could have both items. He didn't want to be outbid on the second item. The chances were pretty good that he would have been because the items are pretty popular. I very politely informed him that I couldn't do that but I would wait for payment on the first auction until the 2nd was completed. That way he could pay for both at the same time and I would reduce shipping costs. He responded by calling me a variey of four letter words in an email and cancelling both bids. Sometimes buyers just mystify me!!!!

????? What a psycho. What even gave him/her an inkling that you should end the second auction for their benefit ?

Hi Capolady - I'm guessing you added him to your no bid list.
I had a bidder that bid over 2 others and then retracted immediately - telling all in the retraction where they can go to find the item cheaper.
I was reviewing auctions at the time and saw it - acted quickly and blocked him. Now he's offended that he couldn't bid on any of my other auctions! - chc
