to ask if I can get out of this ebay transaction?

[carovioletfizz]

sorry for posting here, I need quick answers...

Am selling a computer on ebay, starting price £50, buy it now £70.. One guy has bid on it for £50 and then contacted me asking if he could buy it now for £60, also that he is having problems with paypal and is going to the bank at the weekend to sort it out (obvious lie), and would i consider swapping him the mac for an ipod Nano!!!
I checked his feedback and it's awful - a non payer, lots of feedback saying he bids on things and doesn't pay then makes up excuses. I just know he's not going to pay for the computer, which ends on Saturday. Can I get rid of his bid somehow, there are 5 watchers on the item so hopefully someone else can get it instead?
Also, v angry as for some reason all his negative feedback appears as positive, so he looks as if he has 100% good feedback, very misleading!

Thanks for answers and sorry for going off topic.

Just cancel his bid. It is easy to do and you can use the help screen to navigate your way around it.

And you cant leave negative feedback for buyers unfortunately.. that was eBays fantastic idea which has completely fucked it for a lot of good sellers.

His feedback will appear as positive, as you can't leave negative feedback for a buyer - if you want to leave feedback for a buyer you have to mark it as positive and then write your negative comment in the box. Ridiculous.

This is a link to the cancelling bids page. Once you've done that, then go to this page and block him to stop him bidding on your stuff again.

Oh, that is ridiculous, that you can't leave bad feedback for buyers!
Thanks so much for help, I will cancel his bid now. Does that mean he can't bid again on the item?

You need to block him too, quickly after you've cancelled his bid!
