"Contracts are certainly made when buying/selling via ebay and a bid is an intention to buy and, should that bid be the winning bid and the auction ends, then a contract has been formed. \n  \n\nI know this because a County Court ruled it so concerning a case I brought. \n  \n\nA contract is made between the seller &amp; buyer-it has nothing to do with ebay. \n  \n\nAs for the OP-why hasn't your friend taken your advice to simply ship the £1 item?  It seems quite ridiculous not to. \n\n"
