Bad Beat - BIN Sniped on eBay by like 1 or 2 mintues

MsMorrisineMsMorrisine Posts: 39,478 ✭✭✭✭✭
in the middle of what I thought was a convincing message to lower a BIN, the seller had seen my previous request and lowered it.

2 minutes later I finish typing, go to the listing and someone BIN sniped it from me. image 2 minutes and paid immediately!

    Rookie... You need to have EBay open in 2 tabs and continually refresh the listing between typing! imageimage

    It's happened to me before as well, exactly as you describe.

    It would have been a cherry pick for me too.
    Many happy BST transactions

    This has also happened to me.

    Another time, I talked someone into a lower price and before he could change it, 2 people bid it up way higher than the original starting bid. I mean it happened in less than 5 minutes.

    once received a request to lower my BIN to a ridiculous price. Replied "sure, stand by for the change" and then went to bed.

    You have to have 2 windows open, come on and 2 minutes you should have been quicker on the draw. You could also ask for an invoice adjustment. image
