I recently bid on a v rare plant that a seller was listing. In the final seconds, another bidder placed a bid that was greater than mine and I lost out. The next day ( 18 hours after the auction ended) I was contacted by the seller by email and a second chance offer made. The seller said the winning bidder hadn't been in contacand had not paid for the item. I replied yes please less than 2 hours later but the seller told me it was too late and they had sold the plant to another bidder. Lo and behold I searched ebay straight away and the same seller was selling the same rare plant once again .. From our correspondence I don't believe this was a duplicate plant but the same original plant and it has already received bids in excess of the winning bid from the auction I came second in… Am I right to be suspicious of this ? Is it okay to not wait even 24 hours before offering an item to someone else or even relisting it again ? Feel v suspicious about this experience.. Thanks for any advice…
