What if sniping, but seller changes listing terms ?

[Amazed]

A thought crossed my mind....

I'm assuming a Seller can change terms on his/her listing as long as there are no bidders.

If that is true, then assume I book my Gixen snipe bid.. and, as usual, stop watching the auction.

Then also assume the Seller changes "free shipping" to "$XX shipping"

Conceivably, I could get caught, and my bid will be too high by the amount of the new shipping charge

So.. is this a risk to consider.. or are my assumptions above incorrect ?

[Cupid]

You are correct, we discussed this most recently here:

http://www.gixen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6119

though it has been mentioned a few times over the years.

It is worth considering whether a low bid, to 'fix' the auction, is worthwhile to safeguard against this affecting you.
