I have no dog in this fight. It's his perogative and well within the rules of eBay. You may not like it, but the guy really didn't do anything wrong. I've done the same thing on occasion.

The Pay Pal deposit that you are required to get so people do not flake out on you gets a cut out of it.. So they get it up front and after the sale..
Whats hilarious is this car went for 29 at Mecum in I think May. And it sounds like they can't even establish it as numbers match based on the Ebay ad. LOL. Thats all I gotta say to that price. I didn't pay 40k for my numbers match Stage 1.
It's back with a buy it now price of $45K. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1970-Buick...ash=item3d74d13221:g:uCkAAOSwwR5bedaa&vxp=mtr
