I have just sold a $80 item on ebay for $3725.00 top bidder has emailed me to say he bid $101 and the figure $3725.00 came up. I checked with second bidder who bid $3675.00 he said as he is from Denmark it is normal custom to enter figure as $36,75 meaning to bid $36.75 but came up as $3675.00 what do i do now.PS both bidders have 50+ feedback.

Hi -- They are right -- in Quebec (French Canada) they write the numbers like that - $9.99 is written lke 9,99$ - I would email ebay and explain the situation to them and get your fees back -- It is a pretty simple mistake for someone from Europe to make -- If you want to check it out log onto Ebay France or Ebay Germany check out some auctions you will see the starting price written this way --- dee

why not just sell it to the highest bidder for the 101.00 (you say it was a 80 item)
do a fvf and i beleive it has a box you can check that says you sold it for smaller amount.
Due to the dollars involved i would also email ebay and expalin the situation also ask high bidder to email ebay with expalnation.
