Maybe I'm just naive. :thumbsdown: I know I'm confused

Did some research and I guess it's allowed that an Ebay seller CAN RAISE the price of his item even after posting it at a lower price.
I mean, it wasn't selling even at the lower price. Here's my example.

My connundrum: Been tracking a fretless bass. It's technically a Franken Fender, but the neck was custom made. I mean it looks look cool, but I thought he asking too much. I asked him about it and he was forthcoming. It's a cool looking bass, but except for the neck, there was nothing special about it. I was warming up to, what I thought was a decent offer and then he does this.

He's done TWO price changes since I communicated with him. One for $19 and one for $100. Huh? I dunno. I am so un-warmed now.

Any thoughts on this.
 
Easy carrot cake

by Cassie Best

(Top this classic carrot cake with moreish cream cheese icing and chopped walnuts or pecans. Serve as a sweet treat with a cup of tea any time of the day.)

Ingredients

230ml vegetable oil
plus extra for the tin
100g natural yogurt
4 large eggs
1½ tsp vanilla extract
½ orange
zested
265g self-raising flour
335g light muscovado sugar
2½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ fresh nutmeg
finely grated
265g carrots
(about 3), grated
100g sultanas
or raisins
100g walnuts
or pecans, roughly chopped (optional)

For the icing

100g slightly salted butter
softened
300g icing sugar
100g soft cheese

Method

step 1

Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Oil and line the base and sides of two 20cm cake tins with baking parchment. Whisk the oil, yogurt, eggs, vanilla and zest in a jug. Mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg with a good pinch of salt in a bowl. Squeeze any lumps of sugar through your fingers, shaking the bowl a few times to bring the lumps to the surface.
step 2

Add the wet ingredients to the dry, along with the carrots, raisins and half the nuts, if using. Mix well to combine, then divide between the tins.
step 3

Bake for 25-30 mins or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. If any wet mixture clings to the skewer, return to the oven for 5 mins, then check again. Leave to cool in the tins.
step 4

To make the icing, beat the butter and sugar together until smooth. Add half the soft cheese and beat again, then add the rest (adding it bit by bit prevents the icing from splitting). Remove the cakes from the tins and sandwich together with half the icing. Top with the remaining icing and scatter with the remaining walnuts. Will keep in the fridge for up to five days. Best eaten at room temperature.
