Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5674 Posts	Posted 06/13/2017 11:28 pm This exact situation happened to me as an ebay seller recently. Someone typed in a wrong number as a last minute bid and ended up winning the auction for over twice the value of the coin. The second highest bidder must have been pretty surprised that he didn't win. I cancelled the sale at the buyer's request when she explained what happened. I agree you have to make allowances for human error, and cancelling a sale for an accidental bid seems perfectly reasonable. Report this Post to the Staff

The purpose of a forum is to have open discussion about the topic at hand. No need to get bent out of shape over an opinion you do not like. Report this Post to the Staff

I learned this about 17 years ago on a stock transaction that cost me 5K and there was no do over. Just the thought of it makes me nauseous. Report this Post to the Staff
