Default Ebay f*ckin eBay

i had a car for sale on ebay, finishing this evening with a buy it now of £550.

i had a bid on the buy it now, no feedback, now no longer registered with ebay (matter of hours) and has told me he will send me a cheque for £1100

how can i remove his bid and allow the auction to carry on as normal as it had well over 50 watchers and a couple of bids

my only options seem to be to relist it?? (and pay more fees)

please help

can you not just remove him from the bidding list?

or is it more complicated than that?

i THINK, once someone has clicked "buy it now" the auction has ended and you cant do nothing about it, only thing to do is relist it with a reserve of £500 and let the auction run. i never use the "buy it now" option cos you get muppets like the one that's won your car

just waiting for an e-mail from ebay now

He wanted 500 quid.

The bloke has "buy it now" at 500 quid


Then the bloke has said he will send a cheque for 1100, and wants 600 cash back.

Have you even read the 1st post?
He would have been happy with the buy it now sale, if it wasn't for some scamming scrote that clicked it.

Your going to have to relist it unfortunately
