Now this has happened to me, just minutes ago, I bid a banknote. No problem, this is a note that I shall want to have in my collection. I whistle away and enter my max bid...X,XX dollars. Looks good, confirm bid. huh!!!!! Now my max bid is XXX dollars! Geez, I didn't want that. So what's the problem: well, I entered my max bid in form X,XX as I thought it was supposed...unfortunately I forgot that in US system, the amount has to be entered X.XX (with period, NOT comma). Thus, because I used comma, the system now thinks that my maximum bid is XXX, instead of X.XX!!!! I contacted the seller immediately (just minutes ago). But since I know that there are true eBay-vets here, I'd like to know what are the possibilities to correct the situation? Any possibility for seller to delete my bid and let me enter a new one...or is there a way to correct my max bid, via ebay possibly? -JJ- |

you can try contacting the ebay staff, I'd use the live chat thing they have, if someone's there now and explain to them the situation. Though from a previous dispute with them, they are incompetent and if you are within x amount of minutes, you can retract the bid yourself, but from what it sounds like, it's a tad too late for you. Wait for the seller and see if he understands and sends it to the second offer, or if he agrees for a withdrawel, he can click the cancel bid, before the auction ends. if it has ended, he can file a dispute for non payment, and he can get refunded for the costs of listing and can relist it of course, it all really depends on the seller. |

I would try bid retraction as long as the listing hasnt ended. You can retract bids anytime up until the last 12 hours of the listing I think and any retraction in that last 12 hours must be done withion a certain time period of placing the bid.
