John-
Thank you very much for the courteous response and explanation. For
some reason I did not find the additional explanation of the
cancellation the first two times I looked at the emails from ebay and
the item listing. I see it now, and would not have popped off had I
seen it earlier. You're a gentleman, and are patient with your shy-of-
all-the-info customers.

Hi Tom
This was my auction. After I had listed it I realised that I had
made an error in the condition description. I couldn't alter it
because bids had been placed. I have rarely had to cancel an
auction and it took me a while how to work out how to do this
because there were bids but I put a clear explanation and I
understood that both bidders received that information by email.
Also, if you go to the ended auction you can clearly see why the
auction was ended by going here (albeit they only allow you a
certain number of words in the explanation) ....

I have now relisted the poster.

As to your bid not being high enough to suit, the auction still had
more than a day to go when I ended it and I had no problem at all
with the price it was at.
I do understand that it is annoying to have an auction ended early
but I think it is better to do that than send something that is not
as decribed.
Regards

I followed up on the "FA: Bargain priced Australian Daybills"
posting from last week, and placed a bid, only to have it canceled
and the auction ended early. I realize there might be other
reasons, but it would be nice to at least send a message through
ebay to let me know why, as opposed to the impersonal ebay form
letter telling me "the item is no longer available," which I always
read to mean, "Your bid wasn't high enough to suit me--it's not
really a bargain' " I read a lot of posts here with dealers
complaining that they don't get good action on Ebay. Just sayin':
this sort of thing makes me less likely to click over to ebay after
seeing a seller's MOPO advertising. -Tom
