Surely, as a highly paid contractor, you should have been bidding on this.

I was - until it turned out to be only £6100 new rather than the £15000 it said originally.

And I don't rate Daniel Craig.

Useful linky to explain your predicament here ...

But someone else paid more for the same item - some went at £300 and mine was the cheapest one.

That's the problem with eBay - they should change their rules so that sniping should become mandatory

It's not fair

Who do we know round here who has a paddle?

Does she have a wet suit?

The law of supply and demand doesn't apply to eBay, because AtW is there.

I made a bid for an item a few days ago for something that I wasn't sure I wanted.

It was for charity though, so I bid a reasonably large amount (over £200).

I banked on someone sniping me, so I could feel good about at least trying to buy something for charity and donating to them.

Now, what the flip am I going to do with a £230 thing, because no-one sniped me and I'm stuck with the bloody thing?!?!?!?

Yum, females in wetsuits and spray decks, with a tight grip on the paddle developed over many years of practice.

Mrs BP sold baby clothes for the eyeless trust - bundles costing £100 each. She got £5 for each bundle for charity!

Luckily I persuaded a friend doing a 125mile 24hour kayak to do it for charity - she raised £880
