    Default KO Mirage warning

    There is one on ebay au ending shortly.
    I'm thinking of winning it to stop it falling in some naive persons hands.
    Seeing as the item is KO, I'm under no obligation to pay for it, at least I don't think so.
    What do the rest of you think?

    risky as you may end up with the hassle of having to proof to ebay that its KO and that could go sour depending on how flexible the Ebay staff attending you is.

    Believe me ebay and paypal for that matter don't have a clue when it comes to KOs. You as a buyer have to prove (with testimony from an unbiased third party to verify) that it is a KO.

    Or you could bid something ridiculous like $1,000,000 and have the auction cancelled like what happened with Splendour in the Grass tickets. :/

    Who says I'm actually going to pay for this?
    Winning and paying are 2 different things.
    I intend to simply keep it out of an unwitting persons hands.

    What exactly is the penalty for a non paying bidder? Does your account get deducted in some way down the track?

    Yeah but eBay are more likely to pull the auction if the bidding actually GETS to $45,000,000..

    they dont have any way to make you pay

    the seller can just get a strike put against your name for not bidding nothing else

    3 strikes & your out
