As I consider you folks my friends, I wanted to share my slightly off
topic, yet possibly pertinent FYI with you regarding ebay:
In another "live and learn" situation, I learned this weekend that
the seller on ebay can apparently change the ending times on
auctions, contact the high bidder at the time and settle on the final
price without contacting others involved in the auction. I was in a
tight bidding war, was just outbid and by the time (only a few
seconds later!) I clicked to submit a higher bid, the auction had
closed 2.5 hours early and I had lost.
I've bought quite a few things on ebay and have dealt with very nice
and on the level folks, and have never heard about anything like
this. There is nothing regarding changing end times on the website.
I am now quite leary of the whole process.
Hope this saves someone a little "heartache" :-)
