99p Starting bid sellers who don't send items

[supre-78]

Hi. I have noticed that sellers who put an item up for 99p hoping for more, don't fulfill when the bid is won at 99p.  This has happened to me 5 times in the last month.  Why not just put the  real lowest price you will accept instead. It's very annoying and a real pattern is forming here. Be fair or you'll end up with a bad rep.

Yep,  100% agree that it is annoying and frustrsting,  but I wonder how many of those sellers are new?

Some really do not understand the bidding / auction process,  and even start with eBay's ' recommended 99p start'.

All you can do if the seller cancels,  and does not fulfill the transaction with the posting of an item won in auction , is to contact eBay Customer Services explain the cancellation was not authorised by you.

eBay will place a damaging defect on their account,  it doesn't take many,  especially if they are new,  to have them removed from eBay's selling platform.

Or,  they may learn from it,  and start their auctions for the minimum they wish to receive,  then there can be no disappointment for either buyer or seller.
