Phil, on your MP3 auction.. that is LAMe that you said "if i dont get a good enough price, i will not sell it to the highest bidder."

if you are afraid of not getting enough money then put a reserve on it. Dont just let it be a free for all auction and then be like "oops, sorry!"

thats lame!

I can't let it go for under a dollar! I'll be fair. I mean if someone gives me something fair ($20+ most likely. I just wanna get rid of the thing. I'll sell it.)

Reserves usually turn people off a lot. Especially in $0.01 auctions.

Besides the fact that yes, Kate is right, that's LAME and will turn potential bidders away, I *think* that it is actually against ebay's policy. If you list something and you refuse to sell it to the highest bidder, no matter how low their highest bid was, you are breaking the legal contract you entered into when you listed that item. If I were you Phill, I'd remove that wording on your auction and just make your starting bid the least amount you are willing to accept. I've seen MANY auctions shut down on ebay for such things. All it takes is one person to report it...

eBay just removed that auction. :mad: So I'll have to reword them somehow and get rid of that it looks like.

I'll give you 30 for it right now, if you want it sold.

Sorry I couldn't warn you in time. If you are planning to sell a lot of things, perhaps you should take a few minutes to read over the basic ebay policies to make sure you don't have another auction pulled.

I've actually never been to one, but I will definitely be there next year for opening day.

BTW- Ryan's not funny. We just humor him with laughs when his wife lets him post.

BTWBTW- You didn't vote on the porn thread. What's up with that?

I just got an eMail from eBay. The reason the MP3 was pulled was because I had ipod in the title.

I had "Better than ipod?" in the title.

Interesting.... Maybe they dont want you getting double exposure from the word iPod, thinking people will search for iPod but also get your auction.

That's weird, especially cuz you clarified it with a "?" It wasn't like you were actually saying it was better than an iPod.
