Does any PHer know how it would be possible to remove an auction style item from ebay by any chance? I sold the item via gumtree.com yesterday (and the bids are higher for it on ebay now banghead) without incurring both the wrath of ebay and the unsatisfied highest bidder? There is still 1.5 days to run on the auction if that makes a difference.

Make fake account / use mates account to win the auction.

For the fees there was a way do to a dispute and resolve through mutual agreement to get some fees back but I haven't tried that for a year or so so I don't know if that bit still works. So you might end up paying the fees still.

But make up a different reason, i.e. the item was broken. etc.

I love the way eBay wraps things up to look like they care...

'We strongly discourage sellers to end listings early because it undermines the trust buyers have in the eBay platform.'
