[ARC5] Dynamotor on ebay

There was a decent looking receiver dynamotor on ebay (although the shipping 
was a somewhat high $10) which I and someone else bid on, starting at $1.00.
So my high bid was $1.25 although my max was considerably higher.

Lo and behold, the listing was canceled last night "due to an error in the 
listing"... then it reappears (with identical pics/text) with a $30.00 Buy 
It Now, plus shipping, and a "Make Offer" button.
I offered my previous high bid (which is a lot more than $1.25) and it was 
automatically, instantly declined.

It is obvious that the seller was afraid he might actually have to honor a 
binding contract to sell it, even at $1.25. Which it would not have, I'm 
sure. He just wanted more money... thought this was against ebay rules, once 
bids had been placed. No good mechanism to report it (as if they'd give a 
rat's ass, all they want is their steadily increasing percentage). This 
really ticks me off though.
Just wanted to rant. ;)
