@Coinhunter53562: Yep. He paid for it and I immediately refunded his money as I had already initiated the cancel sale he initially requested.

This is definitely NOT a burnt bridge. There was never a bridge. Just a careless/preoccupied individual on the other side of the river yelling at me that I had done him wrong.

I'd put him on my BBL because it would make ME feel better! My patience level has really been worn thin by "bidiots" like this one.

Good for you Steev! Once you show them the errors of their ways they sometimes come to their senses.

I don't get it? I would have just bought the item and sucked up my mistake if I was the bidder and I would have just cancelled the transaction if I was the seller. who cares what this person you don't know thinks. if he thinks its your fault he bid on this item how does that affect your life. I have cancelled several sales in the past from "mistake bidders" and I have just got over it. HOWEVER I don't pay ad placement fees (40 free per month) so I have lost nothing really and ebay is just a hobby for me

serial: Did your mistake bidders try to pin their mistakes ON YOU? Were you not at least a little miffed that you missed the sale to the 2nd place bidder whose bid was probably NOT a mistake? Did your mistake bidders try to direct you on how you should reformulate your future listings?

If so, I guess you're just a nicer, more laid back person than I am.

I've dealt with idiots too on ebay. It's hard for me to take it personally when I can't put a name to a face. As a matter of fact not to go overboard on my philosophy of life.

I was watching a documentry about a guy that was wongly convicted for killing his wife and was later released. When asked if he was angry (as he should have been they actually sent the prosecuter to jail). He said in the begining he was but he later relized harboring those feelings is like drinking poison and wrecks your personality.

Brian34Jersey Kudos I agree with you wholeheartedly!! Selling is a business type endeavour even for a hobbyist! Life is too short to be fuming about some our person mistake. Cancel the transaction bless the person for communicating his intention. At least the buyer communicated and didn't leave you wondering whether or not he wanted. There are buyers that win auctions and never bother paying or sending a message.

Too many sellers take it as a personal Afront if someone asks for a cancel. How many have as a consumer taken something back to a store, because we change our mind or it wasn't what we expected.
Much better to cancel & get fees back! Than have to do a return & refund while earning a defect. Starting today if a refund is done on a case Paypal keeps their fees. I feel this is criminal !!
Why should Paypal not return fees on a refund? It's another Donahoe cash grab. John real is a Hoe in my opinion!
