dvdguy #2 Posted December 24, 2004 Ending an auction for a bidder's highest bid technically isn't a side deal... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CPUWIZ #4 Posted December 24, 2004 Actually, I would still consider it a side deal but who cares? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
video game addict #5 Posted December 25, 2004 Actually, I would still consider it a side deal but who cares? Well if the buyer is paying more than the current closed price then it's definitely against ebay rules. If they agreed at current price it's within the rules. I think they all fall under side deal too though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATARIeric #6 Posted December 25, 2004 maybe the seller got an email from that particular buyer saying if you end auction now i will pay at that moment with paypal. seller must of wanted to buy something rightaway with paypal my 1 cent Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dvdguy #7 Posted December 25, 2004 maybe the seller got an email from that particular buyer saying if you end auction now i will pay at that moment with paypal. seller must of wanted to buy something rightaway with paypal That's generally how it happens. I've done that before. I'll put in my maximum bid and then email the seller letting them know what it is, if its an auction I really want. Then I'll say that I can pay immediately if they'll end the auction for my max bid. This is permitted under Ebay's rules. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
