seller has option to end auction at any time?

thinking of bidding on an item but the seller states in the item description that he reserves the right to end the auction at any time.  the item is listed with no reserve so does this mean that if "his price" is not reached then he can just cancel the auction b/c it didn't get as high as he wanted it to.  my understanding was that no reserve items sold at the price of the final bid   thanks in advance for any clarification more…

Buyer doesn't want items any longer

Have a buyer that won 4 of my items. She tells me today her husband left her & 3 kids and can't afford the items.  She wants me to cancel transaction and not block her from my listings so when she gets back on her feet, she can shop with me again. Then I looked at her recent transactions & saw that she won and paid for many items, that cost more than mine, at the same time as mine.  Sounds like she is giving me a sob story right now. If I cancel the transactions, she may not accept it... more…

UnPaid Item strike and FB left

A 2 part question. I was reviewing the UPI auto assist. A section mentioned about feedback the buyer may have left. It's a bit confusing. First, if a buyer hasn't paid for the item, how can fb be left in the first place? Or can it?   Also, Are there any circumstances in which an UPI case is opened against a buyer, buyer never pays, but doesn't have an UPI strike issued on their account? Is it solely up to the descretion of ebay depending on the buyers reasons for non payment? more…
