I saw an item that i wanted that had 'reserve not met' labelled on it.
There was 20+ hours to go so i made a bid for it of double the reserve price, also making a 'maximum bid amount' at the same time as I've noticed there's sonetimes a bit of a frenzy during the last hour of sale.
Now, there were no other bids so i assumed i must have got the item for a bargain price when the auction ended. (the 'reserve not met' label stayed there)
When I contacted the seller, I was told they were looking for a much larger amount than I had bid and so had withdrawn it.
I thought the point of ebay was to bid like an auction and the highest bidder got the item, even if it didn't meet with the sellers expectations.
I've only ever bought from 'buy it now' sellers so can anyone advise me how it works?
