When you win an aunction on eBay, does the seller have to sell it to you?
Example: You bid on an item worth $1000 but you bid on it for $200 and you win. Does the seller have to sell it to you or no?
There was no reserved.

As far as I know yes, he has to. But don't worry about them, the know well what they are doing. What ever goes wrong with the deals remember that you have the ability to make a claim and demand your money back. But you will need to pay through pay-pal!

Hi,
It depends, if a reserve is in place & not met then they don't have to sell, if it's a normal auction then they are obligated to fulfill their part of the sale. How did the $1000.00 value get determined?

the seller is obligate to sell it to you.
however if he is not willing to ,he is able to find some excuse to refuse to sell.
what you can do is report to ebay and leave negative feedback

If the item sells, he is morally obligated to sell you the item. There are ways that he does not have to sell his item for less than what he thinks it is worth. That's what reserve prices are for, to protect the seller. The only problem with reserve prices is that it discourages the buyers from bidding. My auctions are always No Reserve. I basically take the risk that my item will sell for what I think it is worth. But then again, any item is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it. That is why Ebay is so awesome. Whenever an auction ends, whatever price that item sold for is what it is worth.

Thanks for Reading.
