  • How did she manage to type in some numbers 'without realising'? Or manage to miss all the signs about 'placing a bid'?

    Send her a NPB, then say you didn't realise you'd done it.

    So she was bidding against herself? I didn't know that was possible ...

    No there had been an earlier bidder who had put a £6 bid on it, so she was just bidding up by 50p each time until she outbid them

    I can't offer any suggestion about a reply as I'm terrible with words, it I just wanted to say I hope your day gets better.

  • Let it go to resolution, then it will block her from leaving feedback.

    Unless she pays, and then Negs you..

    Same happened to me on a £100 bike trainer the other week, It sold for £106, even though I stated it was only worth £103 in the shops. Then he emailed and said can I relist it as it was cheaper in the shops. YES, I KNOW, I even added that to the description!

    Gah!
