ebay question, by spirit on Jul 30, 2008 13:13:52 GMT 1, No
And how can anyone say it is "worth 200" anyway?. It is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. And if it has only been bid up to 50 on Ebay (the open market) then on that day at that time it is worth 50.
No

In the real world - yes. Just leave them negative and move one.

ebay question, by deckstar on Jul 30, 2008 13:16:52 GMT 1, techinically no you can't as it is a auction and you the seller have to honor the sale, as if any buyer buys something from you must pay.
But in reality things don't always go as they are suppose to!

An eBay auction is not actually legally binding though - or so I was led to believe.

I am pretty sure it is, but to be honest when i sell something i only think it is sold when i get the money! half the time people never pay any way!

ebay question, by dslug on Jul 30, 2008 14:26:36 GMT 1, This was a purely hypothetical question,I am thinking of selling a few bits on ebay and would prefer to start at 99p with no reserve I just wasn't sure where you stand as a seller if your item goes for sweet FA.
I would personally always honour any deal I do i just wanted to make sure that the 99p start had no get out of jail free type clause.
Thanks for the replies.
