Once again I have run into the same old thing. These SUPER SELLERS that make a BIG deal about there being NO RESERVE on their item so "Bid Accordingly" And then at the end of about 5 paragraphs of all of the great things that their item has to offer, they say "By the way, the seller reserves the right to end this auction early." Now what do you think that means? It means that if he doesn't see himself getting the price that he wants, then he'll end the auction early. That is fine, but that is a RESERVE.....If you want to reserve a certain price then just do it. Don't waste my time bidding on your stuff thinking that you have no reserve when in fact you do.......People, show your disdain for this practice by not bidding on items that say have NO RESERVE and then in the same breath state that they RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY..Make honest sellers out of some of these folks. Make them stop wasting our time making bids when they plan on cancelling them if their phantom reserve is not met. If they can end the auction early, then they MUST show a reserve price at the head of the listing. Look around through some of the listings and notice a few things...1)they will always brag about no reserve..2)they will almost always have 3 or 4 paragraphs..3)they start with an extremely LOW starting bid..4)they will say at the very end(the part that you may overlook) that they may end early. Ebay is finally doing something about the overpriced shipping and handling charges that have gotten out of hand. Hopefully they will address this issue soon. I say that if a person wants to end their auction early because they have it for sell locally or for whatever reason, then they must say that there is a reserve price in the heading. That makes it fair to everybody because we don't really know if he actually sold it locally or he just didn't like the way that the bidding was going.If that's the case and I had bid on it, then he WASTED MY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
