It is a contract and they must pay. Check the high bidder's feedback and see if a negative was left by the seller over the next few days. If not, chances are it was shilling.

So the "high bidder" just crapped out on him. I thought that the eBay bid was a contract that had to be honored. So much for the eBay contract. Unless he himself put in the high bid??? If so he owes eBay the commission. What am I missing here? ---Art Heller In a message dated 3/4/2012 5:24:47 P.M.
