I was outbid on a 15mm yesterday. Here's the auction:

Then I got two SEPARATE emails offering a second chance bid to buy, 
supposedly because the winning seller couldn't pay. Both emails stressed 
to reply to the email, rather than through ebay. That gets me 
suspicious. I think I'll play it safe and ignore them.

Oh well.

Yeah, it should have some official ebay thing on it. Address or a page to go 
to or something.

Sounds like the high bidder backed out and the seller is now trying to sell 
it on the side without ebay getting their cut. They can say it didn't sell, 
period, that way.

That's what I would guess if the emails come from the same address as the 
seller has on ebay. Personally, I don't like it when sellers or buyers try to 
cut 
private deals.
