what recourse does a bidder when seller refuses to complete the transaction?

5 days to go on this auction but the seller no longer has the item offered for sale. High bidder called me up and asked what he could do.

I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

    Feedback.

    Plus the satisfaction in knowing that the seller will have to pay the fees and taxes.

    Contact Support with the facts and let them do as circumstances dictate.

    High bidder has no skin in the game other than disappointment.

    What nunn said.

    Oh yeah, I see he sold it in a store after it had bids on it. That's a BIG BIG NO NO. Once there's bids, auction must run it's course. Seller is gonna get a smack-down.

    I'm now the high bidder. I have no problem if forum admin wish to lock or delete this thread.

    As said above only thing that can be done is file a complaint and let GB handle it. I will close this now. But please post again if you get some feedback on how it was handled. The seller is wrong on this, but we still are not supposed to post complaints about sellers or buyers.
