  • Current highest bidder emails me asking to cancel their bid as they've won the same item in a different auction and now longer need the item I'm selling if they win. I can cancel the bid, but should I?

    I think it's actually against eBay policy to retract bids? On the other hand if this person does win, will they pay?

  • They can retract the bid themselves no?

    How close to the end of the auction?

    I’ve done that before when i bid on something by accident

  • It's a dickmove, but they won't pay and I don't see what you gain by trying to make them buy something against their will (and missing out on any other bidders from this auction). Call them a cunt and direct them to auctionsniper which allows them to manage multi-bids for similar items without resorting to such dickishness.

  • Its up to you, the seller, really.
    Police arent gonna come after them.
    They probs wont buy yours too.
    Would you?

    Just relist it or the 2nd highest bidder can be given it, second chance option or summat. Ive won items after losing them that way in the past.
