   And I think it might be a little different now; while Chris has done   
   that in the past, I went in and was reading the rules and Ebay has   
   rules regarding this now.  You can only off second chance offers   
   through Ebay channels if the reserve amount wasn't met and you were   
   high bidder, or if the seller didn't pay or some unusual   
   circumstances.  In read like you couldn't do it like Chris said   
   (unless of course you just emailed the person and told them and took   
   it off Ebay channels).  They could still pay you via pay pal though,   
   but Ebay would not protect you if you bought something this way and   
   got ripped off.
