Double Ebay Listing. Grandpa's 15 Pipe Collection. Check It Out.

[scloyd]

I noticed this seller has two listings for the same pipes. One listing is an auction and the other is a Buy It Now. They're the same pipes. Does Ebay allow this?

Not the first time I've seen this sort of double listing on eBay.

This was my first. Just wondering.

Everyone has two grandpas.

Everyone has two grandpas.

Yeah, and both grandpas smoked the same pipes.

Uphill, both ways, I’m sure.

If you have an auction format with a Buy it Now option as someone bids on it the Buy it Now goes away. This way they get the best of both worlds. If someone uses the Buy it Now format then they end the auction early and all bids get cancelled (this has happened to me when I was biding).

If no one uses the Buy it Now then the best offer on the bidding format gets the pipes. I do not believe that eBay allows this. You notify eBay and see what they say.

I have seen auctions with the Buy It Now option all in the same listing. This is two separate listings for the same pipes...one listing for an auction only and a separate listing for only Buy It Now. This is what I've never seen before. Two separate listings for the same items at the same time.

Sable- as an aside & based on your signature quotes I thought you’d appreciate one I use more and more lately :

I think at least one or two of my Ebay purchases were double listed like that. I would suggest, if you're interested in the pipe, but concerned about the legitimacy of the seller, ask around. Pretty good chance that someone on this forum has dealt with the seller before.

If you look at everything they have for sale it looks like they buy storage lockers at auction and sell everything inside.
