[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1730216, member: 561023"] My personal opinion is that you've done something very foolish. The seller should have canceled all bids and setup a BIN option or he should have discontinued the listing altogether and go with another one with you as the only authorized bidder or with a BIN that you can use immediately after the listing goes active. The listing shows the item to be in Colorado so by my clock it is 02:21 MST and you're likely right, the seller probably isn't online currently. You just might be okay and the seller is truly willing to sell for $385 and then again - a big ticket item from a seller with sketchy eBay history (and [B]none[/B] as a seller there) and some unorthodox behavior from both the seller and yourself....smells like a bad deal all the way around. Just as a bidder is (legally) obligated to complete the transaction by paying for any item(s) bid upon and won the seller is (again, legally) obligated to sell the item to the winning bidder upon receipt of payment in full. If a bidder puts up enough fuss and files a Non-Performing Seller report that seller can potentially have their account suspended indefinately and if they go poking around thoroughly enough (eBay and PayPal [I]are[/I] the same company, you know) they can find that the item was sold to you outside of the eBay process and your account could be suspended to. From the get-go this wasn't a particularly bright ideal on your part, fella.
