Ebay seller reselling my not yet closed auction

[zuulioso]

So, an ebay seller devlincollectibles (boardie?) has placed the opening bid on my Ultimate Spider-man 1 CGC 9.6 @ $99.99 and has already listed it in his Ebay store for $229.

 

It seems to me that this is pretty effed up. Am I wrong here? Should I retract his bid or block him as a buyer?

 

I would like some experienced ebay seller opinions because I am pretty new at the Ebay game but I am annoyed by this.

 

My Auction

 

His Re-Sale

 

What would other sellers do?

That's pretty crazy that he is already assuming he is going to win, but I don't see any real harm here.

 

If he wins your auction who cares what he does with it. The assumption is just kind of rude.

He can't sell something he does not own. I believe eBay will pull the listing, last I checked "preselling" was against the rules.

 

[USArmyParatrooper]

Activate his BIN, and then retract his bid and block him.

 

It would be funny to see how he reacts.

The others are right that as long as I get what I want I would be happy, but it is the principal of this that really ticks me off.

 

I will look myself, but if anyone has a quick link to where I can report it, I would appreciate it.

I would but then I am sure he would leave me negative feedback.

[namisgr]

His offering of the comic competes with your auction, and could negatively impact bidding on your book (he already has fielded 3 offers for your book). I'd block him as a bidder.

[DiceX]

I would cancel his bid and block him from bidding again.

He can't. Only the buyer can leave negative feedback. Be sure to leave him negative feedback when he can't make good on his comic sale.

Actually, he wouldnt be able to. Sellers can't leave negative feedback and he can't leave negative feedback as a buyer if you cancel his bid.

+1 to everything they said. This would be pretty funny.

[zuulioso]

I blocked him and reported his listing. Grr. I was excited for a moment I got the opening bid!

[zuulioso]

I made an offer of $.99 and told him to get lost.

[Mr. Indicia-migration]

Are you sure that is yours he is selling? The pictures do look different and the CGC serial numbers look different.

Uh oh... checking...

[DiceX]

Dude, that's not your book he's selling.

 

 

[greenhoody]

Maybe he was to lazy to take a pic of his own and used yours?

 

If anything, I'm thinking he will drive the price of your up, seeing as how his cost more.

[krighton]

one ends in a 9, the other ends in a 3.

[zuulioso]

Oh boy... Yeah, I guess I should uh... send a PM to him.

 

Man, I hate when I get emotionally charged and go and do something dumb like that.

 

I wonder if he will accept

[krighton]

great a buyers anger can be.

 

good luck
