ebay would you get red flagged for ending too many auctions?

[holden j caufield]

ok I had toshiba laptop that got some soda in it. I took it apart and had like 10 auctions for the parts. Then some guy emails me and offers a decent price for the lot. Luckily no one had bid on any of them so I ended them all early. Would I get red flagged by ebay?

Yeah, and apparently their punishment is pretty tough. I heard they make you sing in their next commercial.

Nah.

I doubt eBay cares as long as there were no bids yet.

Just watch out, because this is now an "outside of eBay" transaction, so there is no safe harbor protection, no feedback, etc., if the guy turns out to be a shyster.

If anything seems fishy (multiple PayPal acount payments, unconfirmed shipping addresses, "cousins" and "associates" in Malaysia or Romania, etc.), don't hesitate to tell the guy "no deal" and just re-list the items.

they are already getting fees for you listing(unless you listed on the 26th🙂). like others have said though, don't start complaining if the guy is a fake.
