I would say you bid, you win, you pay....99.9% of the time. There is always that .1% reason that is absolutely acceptable to ask to withdraw after the auction closes.
I can only say that I hope you don't go back on your bid made. Pay the buyer what you owe, and learn from the experience.
Oh thank god! I called awhile back, and just recently he sent me a transaction cancelling form so I accepted! Problem solved!
Do you have evidence to back that up, before you make that kind of accusation? I mean, I'm not naive, and I'm sure it happens some of the time, but "often" ? Granted, I'm somewhat new at selling -- have sold about 25-30 items -- but I've never done such a thing.
I have to agree if you bid you buy I got screwed not to long ago by a seller who didn't want to send the item I paid for. I have over paided a few times and I just call it tuition. Icewater
