What is the name of your state? AZ
We bought an RV on ebay. guy wanted payment when we picked it up, then decided not to sell it - his wife got mad because of the price (he set the price).
We still want the RV. What can we do to get it?

Vehicles on ebay follow a different set of rules than other auctions on eBay. Auctions on vehicles are not binding on the seller. I think because eBay wants dealers to pay for auctions, but dealers want the option to sell outside of eBay too. For example, if someone walks in with cash for a vehicle which is currently under bid, the dealer wants to be able to sell it.

I went through this myself. I was "high bidder" on a car. However, seller withdrew the auction when someone walked off the street and offered him what he was asking.

Without such extra flexibility, eBay might loose the revenue they bring in from dealers.
