item was an auction for 7 days it has 7 bidders and 15 bids and then person won and paid and then requested a cancel right away that said “it won’t arrive on time it is a gift needed it for tomorrow”. So what do I do? Accept then lose out on how well the auction went or decline but risk bad feedback or other issues? New to selling so not sure what to do

·3 months agoI purchased the same item twice, an obvious mistake. I immediately contacted seller and asked if he would just cancel the one order and I will keep the other. And noted he would gain a solid customer and more where I'm in the automotive business... The best I can do now is wait 3 days.,.has anyone been through this lmk....ty ❤️

·5 months agoAs @whitewaterford mentioned, you can offer a "second chance" to the next highest bidder. You can do this up to 60 days after the original auction ended, I believe

Another option (as opposed to cancelling as "buyer requested) is to tell the buyer that it's no problem and that since they don't want the item, the sale will cancel in 4 days. (Don't tell them about the non-payment strike; just that it'll close out.)
If you do that, the buyer will get a non-payment strike, a more restrictive ding on their account.

and if they had not................... unless there has been a change............ if a "formal" request to cancel was done quickly.................... per eBay policy ................... there is no non-payment strike given.

@bobby_4115
Accept the cancellation request and if inclined, you can block the buyer.

Before relisting, you might check and see if eBay offers you the "second chance" offer that you could send to the previous bidder. I haven't used that in a long time, but I think it still exists.

OP5 months agoOk and new to these posts here too not sure if I can reply to you’s or what so I’ll just post on here saying thank you for the help sounds like that’s for the best option because I don’t want any other problems or bad feedback it went well before so it should have no problem selling again thanks everyone !

·5 months agoGood call, it sounds like you’ve got a handle on it
As far as the boards, you don’t need to try and call out every person who might’ve responded, and just posting like you did is usually a great solution, but if you ever do want to make sure a particular person is notified because you liked their answer or or answering a question, you can either type the @ symbol and then their username, or if you just hit the quote button at the top of the compose window here like I did this time, that automatically includes a tag for them.

·5 months agoTrying to force a buyer to accept and pay for an item they don’t want is a recipe for disaster. Yes, it stinks, but if it’s sold once it will sell again. The least hassle for you and least risk is always going to be to accept the cancellation and relist it. Maybe now you could even consider listing it at a fixed price that you know it might be able to go for, or start the auction at a higher price than you did before and with some changes made that might help it sell for even more.

·5 months agoAccept the cancellation request. Use "buyer requested cancellation". You'll get your fees back and you'll protect yourself from any possible negative consequences. Just relist and start over. No harm, no foul.

·5 months agoJust 7 days of your time wasted.
I suggest that if you re-list it on eBay, make it a buy-it-now for the auction result or more if you think it was on the low side. And don't forget to block the bidder.
