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?

If he doesn't sell it and hasn't specified a reserve price he HAS to sell it to you.

What item is it?

Like I said, it is bad etiquette, but I think somewhere in the notices in the e-bay small print it says something like "Sellers have the right to withdraw any item at any time without prior warning" or something like that.

Reason Number 567 why I won't use E-bay.

Has he specified a 'reserve' price? If he has then he's well within his rights. If he hasn't, then he is also well within his rights, but it is very bad e-bay etiquette. If a sellar wants a particular price to be met, then they Should specify the reserve price.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Easy and free service!
I think it's fab that you provide an easy-to-follow service, and even better that it's free...!
