ok, since there is no "buy it now" or reserve.........this means someone can bid the 500, get the 50 bucks back for free, then what...they're F-ed......it doesnt have to go up to 10,000...ebay rules. They cant have a high bid of 500 with no reserve, and just be like." ught, sorry, not high enough, you dont get the box"

I take great issue with the placement (as well as the presence in the first place) of this statement:

You are only bidding on a empty wooden box

Which is then immediately followed by:

what ever is in the box is my gift to you

Even if I could afford to bid ten large on eBay? No bloddy thanks. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

If you want to go strictly by eBay rules if you bid $500 you will have to pay up on that $500 bid before you get $50. So, in essence, you'll be giving the seller $450 for nothing.
