After winning an auction on a computer, this E-mail was sent by the vendor stating that he wanted over ONE HUNDRED dollars more than the final bid for him to ship the item! Instead of using a reserve as a starting bid or safety net for a low bid, he is refusing to ship item unless further payment is recieved!
Here is a copy of the email he sent me for proof:

I have already sent you an email regarding this matter... This item cannot be sold at this price. The minimum price we could see was $550 so it was undersold. You have two options: 1. Pay the Difference. Or 2. We regretly say that we will have to issue an Refund to you.

Keep in mind that I payed (the auction price) in full within seconds of the auctions end. This would include his horrendus EIGHTY DOLLAR shipment fee! (UPS only wants $39 to ship the item... That means he was making $40 on boxing it up!) This was written in plain english as are many other auctions, so I did not dispute it, but calculated it into my final bid limit.
Please dont do business with this person or anyone associated with him. Acts such as this make a mockery of the honesty and integrety of ebay and threaten the future of this great invention.
Just to keep things fair, my money was refunded... Six days later.
