[quote name='Kerig']Can someone actually explain why the star of "I'm a douchebag on eBay" claims he actually made $26,000? If the auction ended early his options were:
1. Retract ALL bids, pay only listing fees.
2. Keep the final bid that was going at the time he closed it (and try to get paid).
3. Deny it was a scam, take a negative hit, and have a contract out on him.
4. After the auction, mutually decide with the buyer to not go through with the sale.
Either way, I don't see why he says he actually made the $26K, because the sale won't ever go through fully...so what's the deal?
Oh, and I wonder why he only has 1 copy of his ghey story up for bid. I would think if he wanted to cash in on his suckcess, then he should make the "story auction" at a quantity of at least 100, and then he can $1 ante profit, like all the other weasels who sell info and E-books on eBay.[/QUOTE]
No, when you're reported on eBay and they end your listing, they reimburse you and cancel everything. The buyers can't pay you, no feedback can be left, nothing. It's as though the listing never happened and eBay doesn't even scold you.
