Man who tried to sell his whole life on eBay fails - Update

The British man who sold his life on eBay has had his dream of starting afresh with the proceeds dashed, after the highest bidder failed to come up with the money.

Ian Usher, who lives in Perth, Western Australia, has decided to list his home with a local real estate agent after the top six bidders in the online auction lost interest or could not afford to buy his life.

Mr Usher cannot force the bidders to pay because eBay is unable to make bidders follow through on a real estate deal.

Instead, he will open his home to buyers this weekend, hoping to sell it for up to £200,000. But he said he would still sell the complete "life" package to anyone who could pay.
