This week I had to deal with a person who bid on one of my auctions and then contacted me about cancelling the bid. I have never had anyone ask me to do that before. Unfortunately I didn't feel that I needed to cancel the bid, and let it continue. This person was really nice whereas communication goes and that is a positive, I guess. My main concern was that this person should have read the description before bidding. In the description the item said what it was 5 different times and I also cautioned my bidders to please read it entirely before placing a bid. So, to make things complicated- at the end of the auction, this bidder was the high bidder and after being contacted refused to pay for the item. So sad. I had to place my first negative feedback.
I know that there are disappointments in the auction business, and today I really felt one. Not at the loss of money from this item, but from the fact that I had to leave negative feedback.
I hope that my future auctions are more successful and as I get better acquainted with how bidding/selling goes the actions will be more positive than negative.
