no love they were retracted or cancelled something very odd there

"in the uk we have a right to cancel any purchase"

not in an auction! If E-bay is genuinely seen as an auction in Law, then a bid is a bid unless the goods are misrepresented.

I suspect that the legal status of Ebay is a bit grey though.... maybe someone else more erudite can enlighten me on this point!

well im just going from my experience i used to sell quite a few items on ebay that cost 100 quid and once or twice people decided not to go through withpurchase so to get my sellers fees back from ebay i had to report them to ebay as non paying bidders when i asked ebay if they could actually make them honour the purchase i was told that in uk you have the right not to compleate purchase using the distance selling regulations
