Advise On Ebay Please

[Swifty]

I'm pretty new to the world of ebay but have been bidding on a record and

have rec'd an e-mail from ebay saying my bid has been cancelled ! I've never

come across this before , why would this happen ? and who cancelled it ?

Confused of Louth

could be for various reasons, the seller may only accept bids from people above a certain feedback score, item not for sale anymore, your from a blocked country....i,ve never had a bid cancelled but i have cancelled bids from people for various reasons and i,m sure the email states the reason.., either the seller or ebay cancelled it.....hope this helpsin some way....phil

Phil , I've just sold some today that finished about an hour ago and to be honest most didn't make what I even paid for them , Doh! so does that mean if I see with not long left and I'm not going to get the price i would like that I can just cancel the bids I have on them ? I wouldn't do it because surely you are in a contract of sale once you have advertised. I'm pretty pissed off about it really. It was George Kirby - What can I do - Cadet and I was winning with $13.50 !

not 100% sure of the rules on cancelling bids and removing from auction, but in "my ebay" where the drop down menu is next to your items you are selling you have the option to remove from auction, it then asks why and gives you some choices, not to sure if there is a time limit as to when you can cancel, best thing to do if your not sure if an item will sell is to start the bidding at a price your happy to let it go at if you only get one bid, thats what i do,

I agree mate , I only sell bits to get some dosh to buy a few more bits , I just think the Kn*b is

a bit out of order. Anyway had a couple of glasses of Red and have calmed down.

Thanks Phil

I think, not for defo but think a seller can only cancel an item for sale if 1) it has NO bids on it. 2) there is still more than 24hrs to go, if under 24hrs i was under the impression that it could not be withdrawn from sale.

After all this though ebay seem to have very confusing rules that do not seem to be the same for everyone.

I was watching this too . I'm sure many others were. I guess someone put an offer in he couldn't refuse. A lot more than $13.50 I suppose

its ok to pull an item with no bids on, but once a bids on its taboo, ..you can still do it, but better to put a reserve on to start with, otherwise you might not get any bids on future items
