niel35	posted on July 11, 2005 11:02:15 AM Bidder "A" has added a zero and she meant to put in 22.00 instead of 220.00. Her high bid was meant to be 22.00. Now the Bidder "B" is up to 47.00 but Bidder "A" just keeps getting her amount raised. What to do?? Can I cancel all the bids and cancel the auction and start over or is this allowed???

neglus	posted on July 11, 2005 11:12:06 AM You (the seller) can cancel all bids by a bidder so the he/she won't get a "bid retraction" mark against him/her. Here's a link to the ebay form: http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?CancelBidShow ------------------------------------- http://stores.ebay.com/Moody-Mommys-Marvelous-Postcards [ edited by neglus on Jul 11, 2005 11:15 AM ]
stonecold613	posted on July 11, 2005 11:58:41 AM I agree with Neglus. You should go ahead and cancel the mis-guided bid. At least then you still have a bid and realistic chance of a sale. DO NOT WAIT FOR THE BUYER TO REMOVE THE BID. If they already let you know it was a mis-placed bid, chances are they will not figure out how to remove it until it is too late. Do it yourself and move on. . . . Alive in 2005
