In Irma's Path and Have Auction with Bid Ending 9/11

[southernfriedbelle]

I'm in Winter Haven, Florida. We're in Hurricane Irma's predicted path. I have ended my listings except for one that received a bid yesterday. I'd experienced little to no interest in my listings for over a month and it didn't even cross my mind to end my listings until I received the bid on the one. I realized then that we will probably be without power and Internet access for at least a few days to several weeks following the storm, and I may not be able to access the info I need to confirm payment received and to ship. Plus, I have no idea how the Postal service will be affected, and for how long.

As soon as I realized the potential mess this could be, I messaged the bidder letting them know of this possibility. I stated that if they wished to retract their bid due to the situation,  I  would end the listing.  I also offered to relist the item once I'm able to, at their bid price, as a BIN, and to notify them immediately upon relisting it. So far, they have not responded.

Is there something else I can or should do? I'm so freaked about the storm, and can't think straight right now.

I mentioned that verse earlier because many times I repeat that to myself when I am anxious or afraid.  It reminds me Who is in control.

Not so sure I can trust Ebay not to penalize, and as you all are being so kind and saying, I have a lot more on my plate then worrying about an $8.00 Ebay sale.  Would any of you believe Ebay, they said they were putting out an announcement on Fl, but have not seen one.

I would not trust eBay.  But I also would not worry.  It is just one transaction.  Even if eBay doesn't follow through on their promises, it will not hurt you enough to waste any stress over.

Take care of the real important stuff now.  Put eBay completely out of your mind until things calm down enough that you can take care of it.
