well if you look closely the reason given is the seller closed the auction to
sell to the current bidder at the current price
this is legal..but we both know the buyer offered more outside of Ebay
you just cant prove it

there is a good chance now that  the seller will now renege on the deal and take
the neg feedback and threaten to give a neg in return.

this is an example of a seller trying to screw a buyer and a buyer trying to
screw the seller
like two thiefs trying to steal from each other
there is no honor amongst thiefs

your right Dick
i know the buyer as well..lets just say..he is a bit of a hypocrite
