MC147 Notice: Administrative Bid Cancellation

Dear ##########,

We're writing to let you know that any recent bids by ########## may have been placed by someone who was not authorized to use that account. We're currently restoring the account to its true owner and have canceled all recent bids.

These are the items that have had bids removed:

#########

As a result of the bid cancellation, there is a possibility that the current high bidder has changed. You can always view the current status of any item by going to the individual item page. (Please be sure to refresh or reload the page to view the most up-to-date information.)

Thank you for your understanding.

Regards,

eBay Trust and Safety

Should I refund the buyer or what? I haven't posted the item yet. I have tried ebay live chat but they just keep me hanging on for ages.

    If you have a bid and a payment then message doesn't apply- surely?

    It was a Buy It now - apparently the user has been suspended, so I sent a refund.

    Has the user been suspended though, does it show 'NARU' by their account?

    Account hijacked, stolen credit card used ? I certainly wouldn't send anything until I knew for sure.
