Seller just delisted Australia as a delivery option because I retracted a bid

sharmes6 — Tue, 08 Feb 2022 13:55:38 GMT

As the title says. This guy really holds a grudge. I retracted a bid on an item he was selling, and he then blocked me from buying any other items. I was bidding on a few of his Hot Toys, and he is based in Virginia, USA, and I am based in Australia. So he cancelled all my bids, because I retracted a bid on an item, and then I couldn't bid on any of his items. A few days later I created a second Ebay account using my work email, and within an hour he had not only cancelled and blocked the new bid I put on, but he excluded Australia as a delivery option. This is obviously the type of guy who has a bunker in his backyard, and a room full of guns.

Here is the reason that is listed:

"This item doesn't post to Australia

Refunds by law: In Australia, consumers have a legal right to obtain a refund from a business if the goods purchased are faulty, not fit for purpose or don't match the seller's description. More information at returns "

So, sorry Australia, my bad. 😂

Some sellers hate bid retractors and will cancel bids and block that buyer in their auctions. Just move on and buy elsewhere.

eBay policy states that creating another account to circumvent seller blocks is not allowed, so you had better hope the seller doesn't report you.

Just to add to my previous comment, if you retract a bid the seller can see what history you have of retractions. So if you've done it before to other sellers they'd have an even more compelling reason to block you.

You misunderstand. I'm not intimidated by that. I pity that.

In this case this guy was so impatient and triggered by an innocent action, he has missed out on higher prices, because I would have been bidding higher than his items are going for. His loss.

Well, I would say it is your loss more than the sellers loss. The seller will sell the items anyway.

It is specifically against Ebays terms and conditions to create another account to get around a sellers blocks and could well see your account/s closed permanently.

For clarity - why did you retract the bid if you were planning on paying higher prices for the items anyway?

Late to the party.... I doubt the OP will return to provide a reason... he is a chronic bid retractor.

OP... what lie do you select for your multiple bid retractions?

So a habitual retractor who breaches eBay policy by opening an account solely to circumvent a seller's blocks and the seller is smart enough to see right through that little stunt, then gets abused on a public forum , makes the SELLER the one who is in the wrong how?

Hopefully the next seller you try pulling the same thing on reports you and you get banned from ever being able to buy under any name/account/email ever again

Welcome to many, many party lists

It's always great when trouble makers out themselves

oh, I don’t think you’ve been misunderstood at all. If you just pitied the Virginia based seller, then why create a fake account to bid on his items again?
…then…. Come here, complain about him, and suggest he is the type of guy to have a bunker full of guns in his backyard?

oh yeah….. that’s what pity looks like smh!!!! 🤨

I think you’ll find yourself on a few more BBL after this….

I'm not sure who you think has ended up with egg on their face here, but it certainly isn't the responders.

You've been shown up as a serial retractor - a red flag to any competent seller.

And you admitted created an ID to circumvent the sellers blocks.

Well done, you reap what you sow..........I certainly wouldn't be selling to you if I had a selling account.

I'm the "tool" who provided the link... did you read it?... did you look at the seller's replies & feedback left for buyers?

Nothing wrong with retracting a bid & rebidding when you make a mistake by entering the wrong amount... but on multiple occasions?... nah not buying that.

Millions of sellers choose to not ship to certain countries... I have no problem with that.

Many sellers view serial bid retractors as being problematic to deal with.

Many sellers lurk on the boards so they can identify PITA buyers.

I'm only a buyer atm & I support the seller who did not want to deal with you if your reply here is any indication of how you communicate with sellers.

No worries, janeababe, I am sure as soon as our kitchen supporter friend sees this, he will contact the seller and try to coerce them into the sale, and agree what horrible people we are, and cheer on OP's behaviour while explaining to us 'bullies' how they must have had a very good reason for everything

I am very confused of late. Have been unwell on and off for a few weeks but no idea where they are all coming from. It is as if someone has hit the Rude & No Idea Button. They have all the regular, helpful posters well and truely in their sights for sure.

Bid retraction rate a bit too high IMHO. Seller also probably took a look at the rate and decided it wasn't worth it. Many others will too.
