Yesterday I sold something on eBay which is large and about £1500 new. It had 28 watchers but only one bid of £450.
The buyer lives about an hour drive away from me, and because of the size, we'd arranged to meet half way and hand over the item this evening.
I have just had a message from them saying it is not suitable for what they need it for, would I mind cancelling the transaction?
I am miffed. I was miffed yesterday because I thought it could sell for more, but I don't use it and reckoned £450 in the bank was better than something I don't use in the garage. Now I am miffed that I am back to where I started. No money has changed hands.
I have accepted that I am not going to get any money from this buyer. What is the best way for me to cancel the bid and not for me to look bad? Can I leave then negative feedback as a buyer any more? My listing fees were minimal because it a free listing week end. Will I get charged for cancelling a transaction?
If I am going to do so, then best to do so tonight, as I can relist for a week ending on peak time Sunday evening.
What should I do?
