Bidder bid by mistake

You may still get what you want, without the hassle. Don;t forget to block her from bidding on your items again. On her feedback, does she usually buy the size you're selling?

Hmm, yes, bidding on one pair of shoes the wrong size is one thing, two seperate pairs from two seperate sellers, dodgy.

Unfortunately, none of that solves your problem, cancel her bids, block her and good luck with the rest of the auction.

After looking at her feedback she regularly buys size 7 and that is exactly the size I am selling so a little confused. I have cancelled her bids and blocked her from future listings. As a result from her bid being cancelled though I had another bidder retract as since being outbid last week her won another pair the same yesterday and no longer needed them.

No advice but personally I find it hard to believe it was a bid by mistake given that it is conveniently close to the end of the auction. It she was messing you about seemed fairly likely to me even before you confimred it. That she bid with 7 days left and she had nothing to say until she saw she was likely to win with 10 hours left that she did not bid by mistake at all and instead she has simply changed her mind and is trying to get out of it. That's not a mistake it's a deliberate calculation based on greed and I can't see her winning an eBay dispute so I would leave it and say hard luck and take it to dispute if she wont pay. She is outright trying it on.

She isn't by any chance selling any similar shoes is she?

Let the auctions run

If she wants to cancel her bids then it's up to her

When auctions finish, send invoice, wait 4 days, start NPB process.

Do this on yours and your mum's auction.

We don't need buyers like that one around and it will serve her right to get 2 strikes

I would have let the auctions run their course, then opened 2 unpaid item disputes in 4 days time "by mistake"...!

You could open an NPB but that doesn't really get you anywhere and also means buyer can leave you feedback.

Not if she doesn't pay.

I would've done the same. Don't need buyers like that. It would be worth the relisting fee (and defintely if you then get a better price).

Then the buyer gets a strike and OP still has the shoes left. She then has to relist, having lost a fair number of the original bidders who have probably bought elswehere.

All it does it mean the seller gets to keep the shoes for anther 10 days or so and potentially gets a neg as well if buyer is nasty enough.

O.M.G. I have just come on here to settle my bills etc, and noticed that my worst nightmare was happening, (and pobabley yours) only I am bidding up to £56.13 max on your georgeus shoes, you might have seen, they are up to £51 now. Only problem is I'm a size 8...its my daughter whose a 7 and she really has peeked at the label "TERRIBLE TEENS". I'm truely sorry and your not the first note I've had to write, but I just haven't got that sort of money, the only thing I could hope for, for your sake, is someone likes them that much too. I realise you will have to complain to ebay, but if you have to put them in again, please let me refund any expenses that you incur.
I truly am sorry for this inconveniance, and hope, that it gets sorted. Please let me know how things are going and sorry. H.

Re-read her email! Does she want to cancel because they're the wrong size, or because she doesn't have any money???

I'd ignore her, and if she doesn't pay, open an NPD dispute; she then can't leave a negative. If she does pay, send via special delivery so that they definitely get tracked!!
