Selling on ebay

[Khandro]

I am selling an illustrated book on ebay and I know that one of the bidders, if she is successful, would break up the book and sell it page by page to maximise profit, which I think would be a pity. If it turns out that she is the highest bidder, do I have any legal, beyond my moral right, to refuse the sale please?

Thanks NOX (I did note your first post) also what boxtops and old salt said seems to be relevant ie basically there is no control of what anyone will do once it is sold. Other people are watching and bidding and with several days to go anything can happen. I am grateful for the response, and feel better for having asked the question.

Have you a good friend/acquaintance with an ebay account you could get to bid a ridiculously high amount close to the finish of the auction? Obviously you would not sell the book to them but you could mark the item as paid and keep the book. You would of course be charged a final selling price ( possibly 10% )by ebay.

If the bidder has any nous they will have more than one ebay account so blocking them is pointless.
