Ebay- Buyer backs out- what now

Had $99.99/best offer on a Tebow jersey. Got an offer of $85- sat on it for a couple of days seeing if anything better came in. Nothing better came in- so I accepted. Got an e-mail from the buyer stating that since she hadn't heard anything back- her husband bought another jersey thus they're not buying my item.

I haven't sold anything on ebay in quite a while- so I'm need of some advice/direction. If I relist the item- will I just be out the insertion fees? No final value fees since no money changed hands? Open an unpaid item case?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts/advice/etc.

    Just file NPB and get your fees back.

    Or if you don't feel like being hostile you can just mutually cancel - I typically mutually cancel regardless of how BS their reason.

    I believe if it's a mutual cancellation, you'll get your fees back. Send the buyer a cancellation notice and ask her to accept it

    This is correct. Bidder doesn't deserve a NPB strike IMO.

    I don't think many people realize that a Best Offer remains open for longer than they think. Mutual cancellation should take care of refunding your FVFs.

    I think you've gotten really good advice so far - send that notice for the buyer to void (and now it seems like they're doing YOU a favor.

    In the future - I suggest that you put a disclaimer that all offers are valid unless canceled and the buyer will be responsible for purchasing the item if the offer is accepted - even if its days later. If not, that's what feedback is for image

    LMAO, like a disclaimer means jack poopies to Ebay - and sellers can't leave feedback

    Request their personal information and send a hitman after the husband. How dare they not take sending a BEST OFFER seriously on eBay.

    Or not, I though would file a NPB against them because who is to say they don't pull this crap all the time.

    If he waited 2 days to accept the offer, I can't blame the buyer for moving on elsewhere. Especially around X-Mas time

    I place more blame on the seller for ignoring the offer

  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    A seller has 48 hr.s to respond.

    I'd go the mutual route myself.

    If they reply or not you get your fees back.

    FV that is.

    +1 exactly, when I get an offer I make a decision within 30-60 seconds, am I going to sell it for this price or not? I have never sat on an offer! When I make on offer, if its not acted on one way or another, within hours, I withdraw it!

    Correct. This is the best way for you to go. You should have no problem with the buyer agreeing to cancel the sell.

    If they refuse to cancel the sell of the item, file the NPB. They must want the item.

    How can you withdraw it?

    Good for you.
  • Foo3112Foo3112 Posts: 1,961
    I'm not sure if it can be withdrawn. I offered once but then I decided I didn't want to pay that much after more though so I retracted before it was accepted. Only time Ive ever done that but because I didn't see another option to withdraw.

    You can withdraw a BO (as a buyer) or a counteroffer (as a seller) through ebay.

    I would try the mutual transaction route first.
  • raiderscottraiderscott Posts: 154 ✭✭
    I went the mutual cancellation route and the buyer accepted. Thanks for all the input.
