    EBay help

    I was in a bidding war for an item a few months back and I got outbid a month later I noticed the same item was on the site for sale from the same owner that listed it. I sent a message to the owner this we went back-and-forth for a few messages and I never heard back from him the item failed to sell and now I can't seem to get a hold of them every time I try to send the message says invalid

    my question is is there anyway I can try to track down a number on the member from eBay?

    This or if you sent payment through PayPal, they have buyer protection and will help get your money back. Happened to me recently on an eBay item also

    If you didn't actually pay for an item than I'm not sure what EBay customer service can do. Buyer/seller confidentiality is one of their biggest priorities. If you did not engage in a transaction other than bidding, not sure if you have any recourse

    he says he got outbid..so assuming no transaction, so he wants to contact seller since it appears to have not been sold or he has more of said item. Personally, I would steer clear if seller disappeared during emails. Find it elsewhere

    Feels like a bait and switch scam. Maybe make a complaint against this seller with e-bay.

    Wait a second.....

    People still get into "bidding wars" on Ebay?

    If you don't snipe on Ebay, you are doing it wrong.

    Oh, and it sounds like you were about to get scammed anyway. Post up the item number so I can look at it and comment further.

    If the item didn't sell and you now can't get in contact with the seller after you and he shared emails.... I'd not pursue it anymore, if the seller can't or won't respond to emails I wouldn't buy anything from him.

    I hate ebay auctions. My life is ridiculously busy I have no time for snipe bidding. The number of times I had to wait until 3 in the morning to snipe, only to fall asleep for 5 minutes and lose the auction.......

    I have plenty of money just not enough time I guess lol.
    I try for buy it now, sometimes I pay a little more but at least I know I won the item, it's usually worth it to me.

    No, there's an app that does it for you. Put in your max bid, set the seconds and wait. Check it when you have time to see if you won. Simple
