I MADE A BID ON AN ITEM THAT HAD A RESERVE.I WON THE BID BUT DID NOT MEET THE RESERVE. SO THE SELLER DID NOT LET ME HAVE THE ITEM. EBAY HAS A "BUY NOW". WHY SHOULD A SELLER HAVE A RESERVE? IF A SELLER WANTS A PRICE THEY SHOULD  BE MADE TO START AT THE PRICE THEY WANT. THEN THEY KNOW THEY WIN. WHAT IS THE REASON TO DO AN AUCTION? I FEEL THAT BOTH THE SELLER AND EBAY ARE ACCOUNTABLE. AN AUCTION IS A "WIN/LOSE GAME". BUT IF A PLAYER DOES NOT REALLY WANT TO PLAY AND IS ALLOWED TO PULL OUT WHEN THEY DON'T WIN,
I FEEL IT THE BUYER WHO IS BEING CHEATED. IS THE BUYER ALLOWED TO PULL OUT AS EASILY?{I AM KIND OF NEW) WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT "RESERVE NOT MET", ALL YOU BUYERS?
