I recently won an ebay auction as mentioned here http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/xm....php?tid=31593

After spending the day running around sorting out transfering the money to the UK for my bro to go get the bike with i get a phone call from the seller saying basicaly, "realy sorry something came up today and the bike is no longer for sale !!!"

Do i have any legal standing on this sale, has anyone had a similar experiance ??

At this stage i have now lost money on exchange rates by sending the money over to the UK... i am pleased i went with my instinct and did not make payment through paypal at the end of the auction.

Does not look like there is much you can do to make him complete.
I would send the boys round.

Too Bad, Just try and think that it was for the best. There are afew great bikes on here for around that price, and you alreay have the money in the UK .
Good Luck

Mmm, I've just looked at the pics of the bike and I dunno if anyone can confirm, but I thought SP's and SPS's had front discs with triangular holes in them.....That bike hasn't......
