By
setting a reserve which wasn't met, then contacting a potential buyer who was
the highest bidder, the seller managed to avoid paying eBay a sales fee. I'd
want to see such characters banned from selling other items. It looks like
there might be some others guilty of that practice.

I thought this was just common practice. I've bid on a lot of stuff on eBay
that never reached the reserve. Those that I was high bidder on but didn't
reach the reserve, the seller has always contacted me to see if I wanted to
buy it at the reserve. This has happened dozens of times.
