I cant imagine people buy this stuff on Ebay

At a certain point...  He is providing a service.  Even if it's just allowing people to buy stuff without driving to a home depot.

Lots of people could walk into a home depot and tell people in every line where they could buy the same item cheaper  (not everything at homedepot is cheap... its just convient to have it all in one spot)...

ebay is just a little more that way.

Do I feel bad for the people who charge to much on ebay?  I don't know.... . but I DON'T feel bad about people who buy stuff on ebay without doing a quick search online to find out what they really go for....  ebay and google should go hand in hand... so many times I've seen people trying to sell used items for more then you can buy them new for...
SNAAAKE:
Well if the bidders are THAT stupid then its their problem. I don't blame the seller at all. But his auction IS kinda misleading but its ebay.

The buyer is too dumb to even look around so he/they should pay $36 for a $3.99 roll.
I think I will be selling too :-X

I haven't glossed over the Ebay rules lately, but I do think it's illegal to e-mail bidders in an attempt to kill a sale.  Would a bidder actually report you?  Doubtful.  But if they did, you'd be at Ebay's mercy.
GroovyTuesdaY:
Why would emailing them be illegal? LOL, thats nuts.  Unless someone else can prove me otherwise, i really doubt that its illegal to warn someone.  BUT if that person decides to try to back out of an auction , then they might cause themselves more grief.   I would say if nothing else, maybe send them an email AFTER they have won and inform them of their stupidity lol.
lol.

I doubt it's illegal, but it's probably against ebay's rules. Since the communication would have to go through their messaging system, they'd have a log of it and could potentially revoke your account or give you a stern warning or send you to bed without dinner or whatever it is that they do to those who break their rules.
