Need an answer right now!!

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.

Yes, Hope springs eternal.

 

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!

 

Also, the 2nd-highest bidder is often the seller's buddy making shill bids to drive prices up

 

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 agree that most of the time there is not shill bidding, but it definitely happens.

 

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
