Okay, here is a message I got today, about 2 minutes after the auction ended from the winning bidder.
Now mind you, he has just won a 7 day auction, one that he was the high bidder for about 3 days.


*************************************************************************************
Dear acmesalesinc,

I apologize, however, in accordance with your no hassle return policy, I will be forced to return this item for a refund if paid for and shipped. I understand the inconvienence as this has happened to me as a seller before too and would therefore not object to paying your listing and reinsertion fee. I appreciate your undertanding as I noticed the issue more than 24 hours after submitting my bid and could not retract it. My hope was that another bid would take out mine which was placed in error. Please advise how you wish me to proceed.
**************************************************************************************

OKAY FORUM MEMBERS PLEASE VOTE FOR ONE OF THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS---

A: REPORT HIM AS A NON-PAYING BIDDER B: HAVE HIM PAY THE FEES C: FORGET IT AND MOVE ON

P.S. I WILL WAIT FOR 24 HOURS TO COUNT THE VOTES. I WILL PROCEED AS DIRECTED BY THE VOTE.

    Have him pay the fees. Why did he bid in the first place? Didn't he hear of "watch list"?!!!!
    You only live life once, enjoy it like it's your last day. It just MIGHT be!

    You don't say how much the coin sold for and what your listing fee's were. If under $5.00 for your cost I vote for C move on. If they were more than charge him the listing fee's and than move on

    Just move on and notify the runner-up bidder with a second chance offer.

    Greg,
    This has happend to me before too...The buyer was more than willing to pay all the fees, which was $30.
    It worked out fine that way....So, B Have Him pay the Fees.

    move on, he's one of several bidders on the coin and don't see a problem letting him pay fees and then sell again, you have others bidding, don't forget the Sellers Fee,

    I'd accept the offer to pay the listing fees.
    If it hasn't been too long you could do a "second chance offer" to the next in line, if you like.

    How many transactions has he made?
    Have him pay the fees, give the next bidder a second chance offer.

    It's a hastle, but on the bright side he did bid your coin upimage

    B: HAVE HIM PAY THE FEES THEN BLOOCK HIM.

    He could have emailed you and asked you to cancel his bids.

    He has agreed to pay the fees. i would accept the fees. If he is new to ebay, that would be a consideration.
    However, if he has been around for a while i would block him from future auctions.
