ebay bidding question (canceling after auction)?
825305
Some where on ebays page it will say that if you are a high bidder on any item that you are locked into a contract and obligated to PAY.\nIm going to look for it.\n\nBefore bidding or using the Buy It Now button \nRemember that you automatically enter into a legally binding contract to purchase the item from the seller if you're the winning buyer in the listing or use the Buy It Now feature. When sellers do not receive payment for an item, they can file an Unpaid Item dispute. eBay can then issue a strike on the account of the buyer who does not honor their obligation to pay (unless the buyer and seller mutually agree not to complete the transaction).

Depends. Are you looking to do it for EBay? That I wouldn't recommend. As if you use a drop shipper for items you sell and they take too long to ship, or the item is malfunctioning it will get back to you in the form of neg feedback which is not good

Whenever I need to buy something, I check eBay first. I look first at auctions that have a reasonable shipping cost and a Buy It Now option at a reasonable price. I stay away from sellers that don't accept Paypal or charge excessive S&H. If I ask a question and don't get a response within a day, I skip that auction. I consider feedback also. Everything else being equal, the auction that provides the most complete information is the one I'm most likely to pursue.

they should have an option on the website to cancel.  or look under contact information and email/call and they will tell you how to do it.

Trying to get through all the information on eBay can be a challenge especially if you don't have that much extra time. \n\nFirst thing I would do is search for "like items" and see what other people have sold theirs for. If something you want to sell is only selling for $5.00 or so and you were expecting $10.00, now might be the right time to post your auction.\n\nBut there is a great alternative to YOU selling on ebay.  Using a drop-shop where they take your item and sell it for you!  They take the pictures--writing the description and shipping it out. They charge a commission of course, but sometimes it's worth it just to have a sale be hassle free!\n\nThe link below is to their main web site and you can click on whatever state you live in to see if there is a store near you.\n\nThere is also people on eBay (TRADING PARTNERS) who will sell for you too--you can find them by zip code.\n\nThere's also TURBO LISTER which is free software that you can download into your computer.  It's so you can get your auctions ready to post on eBay off line and then just upload them when you're ready to post. \n\nSomeone mentioned in an answer a few above me what happens if you don't sell something. It's true that you can list it again within a time frame (check with eBay for exact data) and if the item sells the 2nd time you don't have to pay for the ad again.\n\nWhat is correct is:\nIf you DON'T SELL the item the 2nd  time around, you pay for that ad too.

I sold some stuff, the listing fee was .55 cents and the pay pal ee was based on what item sold for. also ebay charges depending on starting bid etc. The fees are not that much

E-bay does allow you do list things locally.  That can save shipping and payment complications.\n\nAlso have a look at some of the free papers distributed in your area.  We have the Penny Saver and Buy-and-Sell.\n\nNote, if you list it at E-bay you can set a reserved bid so you don't get low-balled.\n\nNote 2, once listed on E-bay you can't sell it by another mechanism unless your auction completes without any bid over your reserve.

Firstly, you will get negative ratings from the seller which means that other sellers may not accept bids from you in future.\n\nAdditionally, the seller can report you to eBay who may ban you from their site.\n\nTo avoid this, you may wish to contact the seller directly, explain why you no longer want the item and try to come to some agreement with them.

Make sure you know your marketplace. I've sold on ebay for years in different niches, and you cannot go wrong with doing lots of research on there, anything from constantly knowing the other sellers in your category to price comparing with finished auctions. I cannot stress to you how important customer service is in this; even the largest and biggest sellers lose me after one transaction if they make promises or have no kind of "touch". Keep in contact with your customers, and you'll reap the benefits. Good luck!

Yes, contact the seller who is selling the item.\n\nASk him you want to retract your bid. \n\nThe seller has the option to take you off the list.

People bid last minute because bidding the entire way through the auction just keeps jacking the bid up higher and higher.  Also, it is allowed by ebay...and sellers love it.  It isn't the last bid that wins, it is the highest bid.  If you don't want to be outbid, place a high proxy...but never more than you are willing to spend.  Then, if you get outbid at the end, at least you know that you wouldn't have wanted to pay that much for it.

She needs to contact the seller. When is the auction ending? Only the seller can retract the bid but you have to contact them before the auction ends. Even if she bid 2 pounds, there is a limit of increments...so if she bid 2,000 pounds and if the bid was at 2 pounds, then it would only go up .10 penses at a time. I dont think its possible to bid 2,000 pounds and have the auction set at 2,000.\n\nTell her to contact the seller as soon as possible. As the seller, it is his responsibility to retract bids when the buyer requests it, otherwise, he has to pay seller fees again if he doesnt retract it right away and if the buyer bails out too late.
