Selling process

[rthornton53]

I sold my 1958 Thunderbird by accepting a Bid offer from a buyer.  I ended my listing. I think I messed up, I know I owe ebay.  But how do I go back process that step?

please advise?

"go back?"

It was not a bid of an auction.

It was a buy it now or best offer.

Buyer gave a best offer and you said no?

Might get a "ding on your account" not accepting the offer.

Usually a "best offer" is pay now.

Did you cancel the sale?

I would be more worried about a cancel than anything else.

Go back...that doesn't happen.

As said...........the item sold............did the buyer pay on ebay........did you ship?

Since when does a seller get 'dinged' for not accepting an offer? 

[12345jamesstamps]

Is a "bid" the same as an "offer"?...An offer as "Best Offer".

I tend to think of bids as an auction...but maybe I am wrong....

And unfortunately most here who post never get back to questions and answers. LOL.

Curious would like to know...

Ok, I get the confusion- but NO; an 'offer' is NOT the same as a bid. This listing was BIN or BO. So, if a potential buyer sends an offer and seller refuses, no harm/no foul and item is NOT considered 'sold'. If seller 'accepts' then it is considered 'sold' and seller will owe fees. If buyer doesn't pay, seller will STILL owe fees unless they 'report buyer as not paying' etc. 

I thought this was a real car, it's a toy. The english language is so simple to use yet people just love to tell half stories. 

A 'real' car is a different scenario (there is no 'sold fees anymore, and car sales are not required to 'go through with it' from either side.

@rthornton53,

Which 1958 Thunderbird are you talking about? (They are both cool, BTW.)

The 1958 Danbury Mint Thunderbird sold for $165 plus $15.50 shipping on June 26. Your buyer has left feedback for you, so it looks like that transaction is done and dusted.

For the 1958 Ford Thunderbird, you had one bid on the first auction, but it didn't meet the reserve price when the auction ended June 27. So, it was not sold and there was no buyer. Then you relisted it on July 4, and ended the auction early July 5 with no bids.

With vehicle listings, you pay upfront for the listing, and you don't owe anything more at the end, whether the listing sells or not. So you do owe eBay for two vehicle listings, plus the reserve fees. These will vary, depending on which package you chose. Since it was a 10-day auction, it looks like an unlimited reserve may have been included in the package at no extra charge.

If the money for your first sale on June 26 was being held, then the fees for one or both of the two vehicle listings will probably be taken from your available funds before you get the payout. If you have already received that money, they eBay will either take the fees from your bank account, or charge your back up funding source.
