Default screwed by ebay motors

My advice- don't do it. I just had an auction end last night for my Nissan 300 ZX twin Turbo. The car was on for 10 days. The high bidder backed out at the last minute, (even though bid retraction is not allowed except under certain circumstances), he sent me an email apologizing with his excuse, then lied about it to ebay to get out of the deal. So, it fell back to the next bidder, who had put in the previous 6 bids. He backed out, because , since he had been out bid, he went and bought something else. So, now, time was running out, it was late in the evening (the auction was to end at midnight) so not too many were going to see the item, it was a no reserve sale, so I pulled the auction off line, having to lie myself as to why I ended the auction early. I spent 10 days replying to email for more information, only to end in maddening frustration. She selling prices are really really low, too. My whole car was going to sell for less then the price of a 300 hp twin turbo engine alone.
If you do do it, don't enter your ad at midnight, because the auction will end at midnight- no last minute fervor....
