I'm an idiot

ajw

I listed a lot of cards on eBay (newer stuff, nothing earth shattering, maybe $25 total in the lot) and I spelled the player's name incorrectly. I have one bidder at $.99. What should I do? Should I let it run, likely resulting in far fewer bidders and a much lower sale price, or should I stop the auction and relist it properly? Or, should I contact the bidder and offer it to him at a good price of $15?

And, yes, I am an idiot.

Here's the auction, if you want to check it out and make fun of me.

I'm curious about this:

How did you possibly wear nine pairs of pants at the same time?

Go back and edit the title. It should still show up on myebay for those bidding on it.

Yeah, I realized that was a bit clumsy. But can you believe how much they're going for?! I'm already shopping for a new Willie Mays card with the money those old pants are going to make me!

I don't think I can. It only lets me add to the description, not change anything, now that there's a bid on the item.

You cannot do it once it has a bid on it. Cancel the bid, end the auction, relist the item using the relist button, make the changes you need. You will be able to get credit on the listing fee if it sells on the relist.

Well, since you're soliciting some ragging:

Bwaaahaaaahaaaa!! You can't even spell Ram...ah...Rame...ah...

Oh, never mind.

Hope you get a reasonable price for the lot whatever you end up doing, Drew!

You did spell his name correctly in the description. Most of my searches are by "Title and Description", so I think most collectors of Ramirez would find your auction in their normal searches anyway.
Good luck with the sale.

ditto--- with the fact there aren't too many players named Aramis, so searchers should recognize this.

Leave it alone you should be OK.Your Description should be good enough.Good Luck!!

I appears to me that you didn't technically spell it wrong but it was a typo so don't feel so bad. Certainly you know how to spell Ramirez. LOL. If I were you I would cancel the auction and relist it with the correction as wiz suggested.

At least you didnt put a bag on your head and set it on fire.

Now this is an idiot
