Annoying sellers who end auctions seconds before the end

Well - it's happened 2x to me now that I have noticed. I have been watching/bidding on an auction and watching it as it goes up - 25 second before the end everything is normal!

Just before the end the auction looks like this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6121934414&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

another seller who did it (with a set of Cards inc foils) was Haggy Crab!

If you can't handle an auction selling low, don't use an auction - use BIN or add a reserve!

This is hideously annoying! And I am sure there were still bids left to be placed!

i know what you mean these people make me sick

sell or don't sell make a decision.

Use a reserve or start at the lowest price or use a BIN thats what i do and it may cost a bit more at times but you don't annoy your buyers and everyone knows where they stand

after all i want people to come back and buy from me  surely that is the most important thing. Are there so few sellers on Ebay that want repeat trade?

Ive had the exact same problem, with a box of TT cards.  Price was reasonbly low, with 1 min to go I went to put in a nice high bid, confirmed it, only to be told the auction had "ended".  Was really not impressed!
