Being seller has really changed for the worse on eBay. I have been trading there since 1999.

There is a way. You have to send a cancel auction notice. Email them and tell them that you will send one. They must agree to cancel it. Once they do so, you get your fees back, you issue their refund, and you can relist it. Now the only downside is that they can, if they so choose, leave your a negative feedback if they want to be an ass.

So far I have not had anyone be so petty as I am doing them the favor. The auction bid is a binding business contract, true, however, eBay continuously sides with buyers over sellers. With the new changes coming this summer, I may stop selling there completely. I have already minimized my sales greatly over the last 5 years.

Good luck!

Unless the fees charged to you by ebay are significant, I'd eat the loss. Vinca Mar 2014 #3
