Okay, so I was messing around on ebay, and I accidentally bid for something and I won. I really don't want this and I'm not going to pay for it. Do any of you know if I can get out of this? I'm scaaaared. I wrote the seller dude a message saying that I'm sorry and stuff, but I don't know... I'm freaking out, man!

It's going to depend on how cool/uncool the seller is going to be.

I wouldn't be scared - I think the worst thing that will happen to you is that he could add negative feedback for you. This would be a big deal if you care about your feedback rating. Nobody is going to come knocking on your door for it - The authorities have a tough enough time with auction fraud where people actually lose money. They're not going to come after you for a violation of the protocol.

If it were me (and I care about my rating), I would apologize and offer to Paypal him a couple of bucks for his trouble. I believe that he will be able to recoup his listing fee... but not the time and opportunity wasted.

Hey baby you're ALL class! Bid on something, change your mind, and then refuse to make it right. Oooo, you wrote an apology, I hope you didn't break a chipped nail! Low class behavior like this is why trust and the honor system is at an all time low. It's hard to have an honor system when people have no honor. You're only "freaking out" because you only care how it affects YOU! Why didn't you just title the thread "I need help avoiding responsibility with as LITTLE EFFORT as possible."

Full Meat's idea was excellent and very respectable for all involved: "If it were me (and I care about my rating), I would apologize and offer to Paypal him a couple of bucks for his trouble. I believe that he will be able to recoup his listing fee...but not the time and opportunity wasted." This is where it's obvious to me that most males have a sense of honor and justice, and chicks for the most part just don't. Chicks put on a good act to convince people that they are more "caring" etc, but when it comes down to a difficult situation, all they care about is themselves. I've seen this with female family members, where they think they don't have to take responsibility for their actions. They think they can whine and pass out apologies and *poof* everything is magically all better. And if someone doesn't like her phony cya apology, women like to say "can't you just let it go, I said I'm sorry already!"

Yea mandee, heaven forbid you offer to give the seller 3 lousy bucks for his posting fee and all the hassle. Generations ago, parents taught their kids honor and how to make things right by actually taking responsibility. Nowadays (led by women) people in society only care about their own damn personal liability, and NOT how their actions have affected other people. See, if Mandee had any empathy whatsoever she wouldn't have to be told any of this and would be more concerned about making it right with the person she inconvenienced and LESS concerned with how it all affects her.

Nice quote, but not my grandmas! When I was a kid, our family and some paisans would sit around drinking beer and wine, passing around the nutcracker, and playing Sicilian card games for money. My two grandmothers would fart and try to blame other people. Hint: Lifting a butt-cheek kinda gives you away.

The guy e-mailed me back and said that he would forget about the whole thing if I paid him $4.65 for listing it. However, I was the only one who bid on it and I bid at the lowest possible price. So, if I hadn't made a stupid mistake and bid, then he would have to pay the listing price anyway. Wouldn't he? I'm not really sure how this whole thing works. I'm still deciding if I should pay or not because if the situation that I just said is true, then I don't think it's fair for me to pay. I was talking to some people at dinner about this and they are telling me to just forget about it and not pay anything at all. But, it's not that much. The only thing is that I just got a new bank account and I won't be getting my check card for another week. He'll have to wait until then I suppose.

I think people have to pay for listing, so he'll have to pay a second time to list the item as a result of your bidding on it. So if that's the case, your mistake cost him money, so it just depends if you're an honorable person or not....

eBay Fee Policy

Insertion fee + Final Value fee = Total Seller Fee

You should be able to calculate the exact seller fee based on the initial and final price of the item.

So, if I hadn't made a stupid mistake and bid, then he would have to pay the listing price anyway

He has to pay the insertion fee any way you cut it.

Options to recoup his Final Value fee:

1) You reimburse him for his Final Value fee.

2) He files a Non Paying Bidder claim with eBay. Once it's resolved, you will likely have a Non Paying Bidder strike on your account and he will have his Final Value fee refunded by eBay. If you have a strike on your account, sellers can (and will) prevent you from bidding on their items in the future.

Don't let the particulars of online auctions keep you from the fact that if you fail to honor your bid, you are a scumbag who is screwing over another person.

Hey, consider yourself lucky. I once bid on something- $550.00 maximum bid, and I won the Item, but the winning bid amount,(mine) was $610.00.???? I checked my maximum bid that I had typed in, and it turns out I was in such a hurry I punched in too many zero's and my maximum bid was actually $55,000.00.! That could have been VERY unpleasant.
And I once bid on something I discovered was not what I wanted,( wrong side) so when I won it, I wanted to cut my losses, and not pay shipping ($45.00) on something I did'nt want, so I offered the seller the winning bid amount and suggested he keep the Item and sell it to someone else, and still give me positive feedback. (It was only a $20.00 item) He did'nt like the idea, so I just bought it, had it shipped to my Home, and so now I have an extra Mercedes side window. Oh well....

This sounds word for word what you folks said about 2000 years ago when a certain dude named Pontius asked your little mob "what shall I do with this man."

Your mythology is funny to me. Tell us more about the son of your sky-god.

Laith, I meant nothing in particular other than to say that we've been here a while.
You've taken me to task a couple of times on some real hair splitting technicalities.

Sharp eye.

I've officially made a motherfuckin' 180.

Now that's a hot saying.

and adamdontgo, use italics when youre quoting by putting an "i" inside the greater than and less than signs before your qoute, then put "/i" in your greater than less than signs. I know that made no sense, but whatev.

I'd call someone like Kevin U. a TLC veteran.


No, he's what I'd call a TLC legacy.

By the way: I'm not trying to be a grammar Nazi... I know what you meant... but I wanted to give you a heads up that "legacy" doesn't mean what you think it does.

Actually, I DID know that...but I couldn't think of the RIGHT word, and "legend" seemed too jjgoldesque. "Fixture" seemed too vague (as gouranga and I could also, somewhat fittingly, be called that). "Founding member" seemed appropriate, except I feared that some would think I meant that he was an actual founder of the site.


Hmmmmm...Let's go with "regent."

So, looks like you're quite qualified then, seeing as you don't know the difference between "there" and "their".

Halo is gay. People who buy Microsoft when they have a choice not to, or even if they do have a choice really, are gay.

You could not be more wrong. While the windows operating system is crashy and top heavy and I'll probably be switching to Lindows in a few more years, I couldn't be more pleased with the Microsoft .Net development tools and whatever generally came before it. They also are one of the few providers of a DBMS (database management system) that is under $100. I have made more money using Microsoft tools and software more than any other and my knowledge of them has kept me employable for a good 8 years. People throw stones becauase of their shitty business practices, but other than Windows and uneccesary Office upgrades they do a pretty good job at a cheap price. Linux is making nice inroads and in a couple of years there will be some actual choices out there which is good, but don't discount what that M$soft has done.

X-box is leaps and bounds better than the PS2 (and I say that as a PS2 owner). I wish I would've gone X-box. Supposedly the new X-box is not much of an upgrade and the PS3 is dah bomb so we'll see.

No, because their products are weak. People only use microsoft out of ignorance or desperation.
I don't drink tea. I had herbal tea twice in 2001 on holidays and once again about a month ago. I don't really like tea. I've never had coffee in any fashion. I don't use Linux, I use windows and it is gay.
