BIN offer then bids and gets it for less

[givemeaspell]

I had an item *under my seller id, that I was selling for a starting price of $195, I had 20 watchers and one person emailed me asking if I had a BIN price, I said make me an offer and I will consider so she offers $250, I email her saying yes I will add the BIN option to the listing so she can purchase it, I hear nothing from her then I check and she has won the auction but cheaper than what she offered. Im a bit peeved at the fact she didn't get back to me and I changed it.  Would u be annoyed at this or am I just being petty?  She had plenty of time to get back to me as I emailed her 2 days b4 the auction had ended, even an email saying I think I'll take my chance and bid would have been nice.

As I was saying before givemeaspell not everyone (buyers and members posting on boards) will behave the way one might normally expect them to.  Sometime they will try to bully you.  I was reading about bullies today and I found this:

"Bullies often pick on someone they think they can have power over. They might pick on kids who get upset easily or who have trouble sticking up for themselves. Getting a big reaction out of someone can make bullies feel like they have the power they want."

You have to wonder....who is being petty?

thanks Aus, yeah I've seen these people on these boards fortunately there are only a few sad one's the majority are great, I don't let anyone bully me, I'll keep posting question whenever I feel the need.  🙂

Make it a valid question about a real issue........

this forum is for helping the ebay community isn't it?  not beating each other up?!

But then it would not be any fun so all the people who know what they are talking about would stay away and then inexperienced members would only get numpty answers from numpty posters ]:)

Clarification - pj's dictionary - 'numpty'   definition 'wonderful'

............... I am sure that's what pj meant 😉

Actually a numpty is a person who who can't tell the difference between cerise and teal. :^O 😛

I think she got you to add the BIN to make people think that is all it is worth, that way making sure no one bids over that price but she can still get it for less

[2106greencat]

industrial - as soon as a bid is placed the BIN disappears, so don't think that would have been the buyers motive. I honestly think the buyer was unsure as to how to proceed and perhaps inadvertently bid again rather than BIN ?:|

Do you really become upset or do you just pretend to ?

To sum this thread up I quote Shakespeare - " Much ado about nothing. "
