Lesson 1: Don't time your auctions to end in the morning.
Lesson 2: eBay is a place where one's trust is very important. The seller likely has negative feedback or very little.

agreed....I have seen sellers have someone bid on their product at the end because its not high enough in price. the only loss of money would be the listing fee on ebay then.
It didn't sell for $560, but was withdrawn.

"This listing was ended by the seller because the item was sold"
Others have sold for well above that.

Shilling used to be severely frowned upon by ebay; a seller doing this would risk getting banned. Though I wouldn't be surprised if they have gotten more lenient in enforcing this. And even still, there are many other ways to game ebay if you think about it for 20 seconds. Another example of why I find ebay to be a cesspool.

Not sure if the seller intentionally listed it that way, but the content of the listing is pretty clear. Oops!
