No it wasn't any of that. It was actually just one item. A baseball that ended up having a final sale price of $1700

ebay is NOT legally binding, until you take someones money or someone takes yours.

It is legally binding. It's called Contract Law. Contract Law states that there must be two items present to create a contract. The first is an offer (in my case, a bid). The second is acceptance of that offer (in my case, this is generally the end of the auction). The seller does not have the option of backing out and neither does the buyer.

Well that someone cost me $50 for no damn reason. I'd say they should have something about it.
I suppose this is no longer the case? Ebay should allow you to relist for free. With that I believe you have something, if the one free relist still exists. |

Unfortunately again, without a signature there is no binding contract. You basically have a verbal contract and no money changed hands. If you had a contract with the buyer ( he in effect has a contract with ebay, not you) and that contract was signed and bound with earnest money, then you would have a case and could keep the earnest money. There is no one that can force the guy to buy your item. Like I said before, most states give anyone 3 days to back out AFTER the purchase. In this case the purchase never took place.
