Basically, the item I'm selling has been going for around £55, now two other sellers have posted items as 99p starting so killed my auction.
Now I've had this email from the lead bidder...
"really sorry.entered wrong amount.tried to withdraw bid but to late.can you please take my bid off your end if not will have to except negative feedback from you."
Are they saying they are aren't going to pay regardless? :mad:
This same person asked me for a Buy It Now price the other day, so they are interested, they obviously just want a better deal.
The item is worth £80 by the way
Edited to add: I initially read it wrong, sorry.
How do I remove their bid?

Sounds like a very apologetic e-mail rather than a threat

Sounds like the buyer is expecting a neg' from the seller.

Looks like it...
Just reply to them saying that you are unable to remove their bid in the last 12 hours of the auction, so their only hope is someone else bidding higher than them.
Also point out that buyers can't be given negs, but they will get an non paying bidder strike if they don't go through with the sale - you MUST give them 7 days to pay, then report for not paying, and you'll then get your fees back if they still don't pay.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
Thanks, I don't sell very often and haven't ever had any trouble before.
I can relist the item right away though can't I? It's for an event which is Thursday.No longer using this account for new posts from 20130 -

They can't in the last 12 hours unless the bid itself was also placed in the last 12 hours.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Gem you said on another thread that a second bidder has bid less. Can you not accept that bid and do a second chance offer? I cant remember if you will get charged to FVF's although if you report the first bidder as non paying you should get those fee's returned anyways
Saves the rush to get them sold.... Plus they may get outbid before the auction ends tonight regardless.0
