But can't the seller just, y'know, not sell it for $9.99? I mean, I confess to know next to nothing about the mechanics of eBay, but what's the deal here?

I wonder if we should believe everything we see on eBay...

I find it hard to believe he'll actually ship it. I also find it hard to believe that someone would actually think they'd get away with buying one for $9.99. Oh wait, this is America.

The seller ended this listing early to sell to the high bidder(s) at current bid price.

Haven't you seen this sort of thing before? :p The buyer and seller are most likely either friends or the same person and no actual transaction is taking place. The whole point of the exercise is to pad up the feedback.
