Please quote the selling policy as what I've seen
in the selling policy
states that that's only illegal if a seller does that because they don't
like the final price.
Additionally - you missed the point. According to the Ebay policy, the
scenario that was presented *could not* happen. The seller would not
have been able to end the auction early with only 5 minutes left and a
cancelled bid in the system. The system *will not* allow it, not
matter what any of us thinks of it.
