Seller on eBay agrees to my best offer but counters with $1 and says will bill rest later? -

A seller listed an item on eBay for $120. I countered with $80. The Seller agrees to the price but says he or she counters with $1 and will bill remaining $79. What does the Seller gain from this? Is this eBay policy?

No, Paypal gets it s percentage.He s cheating eBay out of their final value fee. Technically, you don t have to pay more than $1.

why wouldn t they want the money now? doesn t sound right. sounds like they will try and bill you more than $9 later and then report you to ebay if you don t pay - they probably won;t ship it anyway or they will keep your $ and give you negative feedback or a non-paying strike which is BADRUN AWAY!!!!!!

Might be trying to get around the percentage due to pay pal. I just stay away from things that sound hinky though.
