Bidding and Buying. As a buyer, you are obligated to complete the transaction with the seller: * if you purchase an item through one of our fixed price formats; or * if you are the highest bidder at the end of an auction (meeting the applicable minimum bid or reserve requirements) and your bid is accepted by the seller, unless the item is listed in a category under the Non-Binding Bid Policy or the transaction is prohibited by law or by this Agreement. By bidding on an item you agree to be bound by the conditions of sale included in the item's description so long as those conditions of sale are not in violation of this Agreement or unlawful. Unless you and the seller agree otherwise, you will become the item's lawful owner upon physical receipt of the item from the seller, in accordance with Ca. Com. Code § 2401(2) and Uniform Com. Code § 2-401(2). Bids are not retractable except in exceptional circumstances, such as: when the seller materially changes the item's description after you bid; a clear typographical error is made; you cannot authenticate the seller's identity; or when the seller does not confirm your purchase in the Half.com area of our services. If you choose to bid on mature audience items or items that are restricted to adult use, you are certifying that you have the legal right to purchase such items. ------------------------------ That is what the User Agreement each and every eBay member agreed to says about bidding. Sometimes you may see a listing that you believe is not right for one reason or another. You may feel that you need to do something to protect other members. If that is the case, what you need to do is to report the listing to Trust & Safety for someone to investigate. There are forms to do that under the "Help" link at the top of the page. What you must not do is to become a vigilante. You must not interfere with the listing itself in any way. Do not bid or "BIN" to prevent someone else from buying. Never bid only to be able to request contact information. Never email a bidder or buyer on another member's listing. Even though your intentions may be honorable, you are operating in a vacuum and do not have all the facts available to you. The only appropriate action to take is to make a full and complete report to Trust & Safety about your concerns. To do otherwise is to commit Auction Interference and may result in the loss of your own eBay membership.
