I can’t say anything for certain but I’ve won and lost dozens (hundreds?) of
eBay auctions and never had a “second offer” cause someone cancelled. The fact this seller had two right in a row on this auction though does seem sketchy. It also stinks that after we talked he didn’t just post it with a very high BIN with a 1163 offer that he would let me take advantage of. Some people just don’t know how to do good business, it is what it is.
