This is weird, and I don’t know what’s going on lately here’s cliff notes:
–Everyday been watching for a new set of golf clubs.
–Find a the same set everyday (diff auction/seller), watch it, wait til I get home so I can buy it and its gone.
–Normally when this happens it says “bidding ended early with buy it now”
–This isn’t the case, its just gone.
–I email the user about the item before I used buy it now.
–Never get responses, no “Item invalid response, or fraud responses from ebay”
So today I did it with 3 different buy it nows, all users with 100% feedback over 100 feedbacks and one with 3000+ all 100%… started watching at about 3:30pm and by now 10:50pm they are all gone.
Item # show nothing, usernames show no prior listing…
Now is this just a coincidence that all of them are removing the items for sale in person or is there something fishy… seems fishy and it sucks cuz I want the clubs so I can get out asap but for $300+ I am not gonna get fucked over.
Something fishy with the auctions or did I break eBay!?! Dohh…
I’d buy at a golf store, but the markup is still high as they are last years clubs so in store still over 500.
Ebay has been sucking, my account just got hacked and the person won 7 auctions. The bastard even got back on my account 4 times to ebay message the sellers to talk them into shipping it. It was very very poor english as well.
ever think that its prime time for buying clubs, and people will buy clubs asap instead of waiting?
I agree the golf shops are marked up a TON, so many people are probably going to golf shops to LOOK and try out what they want, then they buy on ebay.
anyone else been getting those emails from “ebay” that ask you to sign in. Its actually very difficult to see that there not from ebay, and i can definetly see how someone would make that mistake. But yea i agree, they’re prob getting sold before you get a second look at them.

Yeah thats what I do also, however when you use buy it now the auction doesn’t disappear, it says “Ended” and then when you go into it it says “Ended early with buy it now”.
That is not the case. So they are DEF NOT being sold, the auctions are being removed. You can view the auction after its been won for 3 months, and after that there is still the auction number. In this case the auctions are disappearing, like the user took them down but it’s happening to every auction I look at.
Problem solved. All auctions were frauds, weird. Someone keeps posting auctions on these clubs and the user really isn’t selling them. Really pissing me off cuz now I am afraid to bid on anything. Fuck.
