Need a bit of guidance to correct a possible eBay sale issue.

Okay, I received a message on an auction where I believe the inquirer might have misunderstood a description. I answered (and included the answer on the auction for anyone else that might get over exhuberant in their buying delirium). I then went to check my auctions and found that the inquirer had already used Buy It Now to purchase 2 of the same items in two other of the auctions (all 5 auctions have well over 1 day to almost 7 days before they end, and they are all the same). Now, if my answer is not to the persons expectations (I would presume that they jumped the gun for unknown reasons), I have no problem with "undoing" it because I don't want someone to be mislead.

So, my question is - how does one go about undoing a "BIN" purchase (payment has not yet been made) and having the auction continue as it was prior??
Heck, I might not even need to - but I'd like to know just in case.

    The auction is history, once the BIN feature is used.

    Hopefully, you are worried over nothing. Time will tell.

  • Well, I know that when a bidder "mistakenly"(?!) places a regular bid, the bid can be retracted/cancelled/removed - I hoped that the same was true with Buy It Now. I've never used BIN on an auction, and I only used it this time to stand out & attract more attention in the search listings. Starting bid at $0.99, I never expected it to get used... LOL
  • All you can do in a BIN sale is file a "both agree not to complete transaction. I bought a BIN AGE and when it didn't go thru (or so I thought) I refreshed and now I had bought two eagles. Told the seller and it was easy enough to cancel one. You can't remove a BIN bid.

  • I tend to worry when I shouldn't and I'd suggest that you quit worrying until your bidder lets you know that something is wrong. Hopefully all will work out and you were worrying over nothing.
