Damn You EDF, Damn You to Hell

I was watching a few things on Ebay tonight and what happens the bloody power goes out and I miss getting a Cobra Ferret for £3 and a Trilogo Warok for £60. Damn you EDF damn you to hell. Shakes fist at sky angrily in a planet of the apes stylee

Did they end without any bids? Can you contact the sellers?

Why wait untill the last minute before bidding?

To get the best prices, never give the opposition time to counter your bid. The amount of bargain that can be had with last second bids is amazing.

Sadly both of them had bids on them so I missed both of them.

always a killer when something screws your bid, some months back i was about to bid on an item i still haven't got, i placed my bid it took so long to load i missed out, i could of died.

When there are 4 or so snipers after one item it's fascinating to watch the price rise a couple of orders of magnitude within the last 30 seconds.

The problem I sometimes got through being registered in Canada but having a UK family address available is the blocking of internationally registered buyers regardless of address, when there's nothing to indicate the block in the item description. I think the same can happen if you're not using a 'paypal confirmed' address. Wish ebay had a simple visible flag on the item description to show if the (signed in) buyer is eligible to bid beforehand.

I have experienced the exact same problem and had to get a friend in the UK to help me out with the deal, real annoying that you cannot see that there is a block when other UK-only are working just fine.

Like I said in that posting: auto sniper tools! Then no power failure can f*ck you up!

Yeah, it was me who won that particular auction Eddie. It was great. I received it all within an hour and spent the rest of the night rolling around in it all laughing and whooping with joy.

Anyway, what were you doing in the 'ladies panties' section of eBay..? Hang on. We are talking about the same auction aren't we...?
