Hello,could someone tell me how to reinstate a bid I cancelled due to location?

[grizzabellar]

Hello,

I only sell to Aus,so I cancelled a bid from another country.

Now she tells me she lives in Sydney but has not changed her location.

So I now want to reinstate her bid.

Any help appreciated,thanks,Paul

You can't.

Invite her to bid again by messaging and explaining the misunderstanding if you haven't.

Or she may have bid on another already.

Thanks,

but that  seems silly .

Surely plenty of people change countries and forget to tell eBay.

We are in contact via messaging on eBay,but she can no longer bid and she wants to keep bidding on my item

If she is prepared to pay my price,then the only way for her to buy would be offl eBay and that is not permitted.

I shall keep working on it,thanks anyway. Paul

If it's for the Apple Computer you have listed, get her to change her details and start bidding if she's still interested.

Have you checked the ID's 30 day bidding summary ?  On all those computer listings ?

Total Bids 102

Items bid on 75

Bid Retractions 7

Bid Retractions ( 6 months) 54

JMO but I'd keep the ID blocked

Up to 103 now. I agree with mobile63, keep them blocked. There's too much that doesn't seem right. Bidding on so many identical items, plus all those retractions, sounds really suspect to me.

54 bid retractions in just 6 months is about 53 too many in my opinion. One mistake you could understand but that buyer makes a habit of it!!

You've dodged a bullet there, if you blocked her or cancelled the bid.

Also,  you said she had not changed her address on her ebay details and that is why it was looking as if she was not in Australia.

That may be so. Maybe she has moved. But I was under the impression (and I could be wrong on this as I am not an ebay expert) that if you sell something and a buyer pays via paypal, you need to post the item to the address that is listed on paypal or ebay or whatever.

If she has not updated her address details for these and you send an item off to whatever new address she gives you, would you be covered by paypal in the event of a dispute? From what i have read on these boards, I think the answer could be no.

Go carefully with this one. I don't think I would reinstate her bid. If she wants to bid, let her change her address details on her account first.
