that's not true, when she put the sofa on ebay, she entered a contract therefore she lost the right to sell it to anybody, it goes to the highest bidder, also, it's not against the rules to offer an end early price, but, unless otherwise stated (using the buy it now option), it is against the rules to offer a price to end it early.
Also, it might only be a smelly old sofa, but at the same time it's about principle, so get off your high horses re. that.
On he flip side, i stuck a shun knife on a few weeks ago expecting to get about £60 for it, it went for £24 i think, i was gutted, but because i entered ebays contract i followed the sale through, heartbreaking as it was.
