Bidding worry

[michellebartley]

I presently am bidding on an item for two dolls, bidding ends on Monday and hopefully I may win the auction. I only want one of the dolls though. What would be the best way of going about purchasing just the one doll I want from the seller, anyone got any suggestions please? I'm just worried if I say to seller I just want one doll they may become irate about it.

simply why would you be bidding on a 2 doll auction when you only want to buy 1 , , but if you win the auction whats the problem just give 1 away or re sell it

Easier said than done. I already have one of the dolls and the other one that I want is as rare as hens teeth.

Oh Michelle.....it is simple.  If you win the auction just pay and when the dolls arrive either give one away, sell it on ebay or if all else fails there is always the garbage bin.

I imagine the seller may well get irate if you tell her you only want one doll.....she will probably cancel the transaction and block you.

Do you deliberately go looking for problems on ebay?

The auction is for two dolls.

So you'll pay a high price for just wanting one.

Become a seller, sell the other one, and find out why so

many sellers pull their hair out

What are we doing Stawks.....even suggesting that Michelle should become a seller is a scary thought.

would it be rude if  i say i could posibly supply the hens teeth, only joking michele, what about donating it to the op shop or a school fete.that would be ok

Michelle they won't become irrate if you pay the full auction price and ask them to just send one doll and keep the other.

[michellebartley]

I may as well take both as its the same price, plus why would they keep the item when I've paid for two. I doubt whether they would do anything til the auction is finished anyway (well I doubt it)plus I may not even win the auction although at present I am the only bidder.

Michelle, Instead of bidding on the aution that included the 2 dolls why didn't you contact the seller and just tell them you were interested in one doll and could they sell it outright or make 2 different auctions.
