I've bidded on an item which has half an hour left, for 50p.
The seller just got a Q&A asking why it's so cheap, and he replied that he would not sell the item unless bidding reached 112. Surely he can't do this? If the highest bid is 50p, then he has to sell for that, right?

"Product: The item on offer in this auction is a brand new Sony PSP 1000 Normal Pack which includes system, battery, leads and instruction booklet - all unopened. This is the latest version with system software 1.5. The PSP supports the following 9 languages: German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portugese, Russian & Japanese."
Q: Is this auction ACTUALLY for a PSP? BEcause the description is very confusing. answered on: 11-Apr-05
A: It was for a PSP but since one guy was unsure I removed his bid. Now I am unable to cancel the auction, so any bid below 112 pounds will not count.
He's got a point though and may be able to get away with it because of that.

"For Paypal payments, please add 20% on top of the price. Why? Because people who prefer to pay by Paypal are people who are not concerned about price."
WTF?
This seller seems like a bit of an idiot.

Just don't pay the extra 20%, or the normal 5% that people add on.
They can't do anything about it and it's completely against eBays T&C.

They always do that, so when you search for items in the UK only it comes up in the search.
It's a complete sod when you're looking for small cheap electric stuff because the Hong Kong people charge £10 P&P for even the smallest item. Bluetooth dongles are impossible to buy from the UK on there.

" I don't sell to anyone."
"The actual product is secondary compared to finding an efficient seller. The product depreciates in value over time. The PSP could probably be found in a car-boot sale for $50 next year. On the other hand, having a reliable supplier is a longer term gain."
haha very good

He'd rather sell to someone here for £112, rather than £224 for someone in Canada? WHY? P&P isn't gonna cost him £112 is it. Why won't he just keep the stupid thing! Save a lot of hassle for both ends.
Keep searching I'm sure we'll find a T&C on that page for "You must be older that 633 years and have six fingers on your right hand, otherwise I won't sell it to you". This seller is beyond belief!

It seems to me as if he's actually just trying to find customers who he can sell lots of things to, rather than actually selling anyone a PSP.
