E-Bay Online Auction was a SCAM Nationwide

I followed an item and auction for a week, following all guidelines set by the company. When I successfully bid and won my item, It had no reserve meaning the item would sell to the highest bidder (me). I then paid for the item in the manner the owner preferred within 10 minutes. The next morning I got up, checked my messages to find out the seller was refunding my money and refused to sell me the items listed and photographed. The company who featured these articles said they have no item or document in place to 'enforce' these auctions so the end result is I had to buy the described items (since I still wanted the items) and ended up paying literally ten times as much through non-auctions. This company is known and presses how great their auctions are but "Buyer Beware". I have not used their auctions since.
