Pulling the auction off because you're not happy with the bids sounds like poor form to me. Give him a bad seller rating.

with regards to my offer for the putter i did put in a bid that i was willing to go to and someone else had bid as well but i was still winning.
it just irked me that the seller pulled the item and relisted stating no bids were proffered on the original sale.
Sometimes people sell on gumtree too and may have sold through that first. Saves the hassle of p&p and everything ebay related.
they RELISTED the item that means it didnt sell on gumtree or anywhere else for that matter.
One of the problems with bidding your max early on is shill bidding.
This is where a seller has more than one id and uses those to bid on his own listing after you or gets a mate to bid and cancels a winning bid once he goes beyond your original bid.
It has become much harder to spot now that ebay hides ids from other bidders.
I sometimes, when bored, put in very low bids for stuff (golf) that I don't actually need but would be cool to buy for a stupid price. Never won anything this way as yet. There's far too many people on the bay now.
I am ashamed to say I have pushed up bids on items that I don't actually want just for the fun of it. I have come very close to winning stuff I dont want. Purely experimental. I would like to apologise to those that bought the item where I have artificially inflated the price just for the hell of it. If you bid early you leave yourself exposed to people like me bored and seeking mischief
Alternatively, you can sell a club on there by best offer and receive no payment. You send a payment reminder 2 days later and get a message saying that because I don’t accept returns, they are no longer interested and won’t be purchasing the club.
Time wasters
Don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone accept returns!
