Any advice for this ebay situation??

[lytalbayre]

Two times in a row I've tried to sell an item on ebay, and on both occasions, within hours after the auction ends, ebay voids the entire auction because the winning bidders account was apparently hacked...

Since it happened twice in a row for the same item, I have trouble believing it is a coincidence. More likely someone deliberately screwing with me.

It really sucks because ebay voids the whole transaction, which means I have to relist and wait another 5 days!

Has anyone ever encountered a situation like this before?? I called ebay and that was pointless, and I also sent them an email...

Any advice? I'm going to be extremely pissed if this happens again!

What item is it?

Try listing it under someone else's account? I know you can also set it up where people have to be allowed to bid on your item. Meaning you have to accept the bid or something like that. Make so you need X number of feedback to bid.

Is the item rare or something? I just think its a lot of trouble to keep finding your listing and messing with it.

The item is not rare, but is expensive. An Omega Planet Ocean watch, usually sells for around $2K.

This time, I listed in my description they should have at least 10 positive feedbacks in the last six months to bid otherwise they should contact me or I will cancel their bids... Is there a way to set something like this up automatically??

I think when you list the auction you can set special settings for some of the things that I described.

Yes, you can setup bidder requirements.

AFAIK though it won't give you exactly what you want. I think I have mine set to block foreign accounts, as well as -2,-1,0 FB buyers. Also requires instant payment for BIN


I don't think there's much recourse in your specific situation
