Its not the run until sold option so much as its the log in of the seller. This has been discussed before, since the log in is every 24 hours, sellers that don't log in within a certain amount of time should be notified and eventually, if no log in, auctions closed.

I'm really sorry that happened to you too, Ruthie. You could have been buying another set of the same books FROM A DIFFERENT SELLER if this rude person had had the courtesy of being honest about their stock. You're not out the money but you are out considerable time with emails, feedback and hunting that you thought netted you a prize but didn't.
Hope the wine gum took you to happy land.
I don't think the selling option (Auction or Run Until Sold) has anything to do with it. The seller gets notified immediately when there's a sale of either type. It may be true the "dump and run" sellers use Run Until Sold more often, but please don't attack those of us who prefer to use it. This has been discussed before, and several of us listed valid reasons for not using the Auction format.
This seller absolutely should get a negative feedback. I seem to remember reading somewhere that eBid will ban members after repeated offenses, and the feedback is the only way they know about it.
Another auction site I sell on did exactly that to me. I received an email stating that I had not logged on for 3 weeks and to sign in and 'show my presence' otherwise they will close all my auctions (not my registration) on the understanding that I am not interested any more. It was an oversight on my part as I had such a hectic period, I totally forgot to sign in (I normally do every 2 or 3 days).
