Listed An Item Last Night And Sold within couple of minutes But............

[crowsman53]

Listed an item last night at 8.20 pm. Within couple of minutes it sold..Here are eBays Details.

Start time:

15 Nov, 2014 20:20:50 AEDST

Ended             15 Nov, 2014 20:21:05 AEDST

Now you can see between listing and selling 15 second. The person who bought it paid within seconds with Paypal. I started packing the item for postage on Monday morning.

Now Remember I only have 1 of these items about 1 hour later someone bought the same item which has already been sold but the confusing part is this again eBay Details.

Start time:

15 Nov, 2014 20:24:23 AEDST

Ended              15 Nov, 2014 21:35:36 AEDST

The Item was listed as Buy It Now. When it sold why was it now removed and why the time difference in the Start Time?

I have contacted the second buyer and explained as best I could that the item was sold about 1 hour earlier. Thankfully they havent paid. but they havent got back to me either.

Am I open to a Defect, Negitive Feedback or anyother curse...

I would love to know how this can happen..

Was it an auto relist? It listed 3min after the 1st sale.Did you have the quantity option?

whats the item number

[jensmanchester-australia]

Check the item number or numbers. If the item numbers are different then it has most probably been relisted.

Now Remember I only have 1 of these items

Can't be a re-list then

[jensmanchester-australia]

It is easy enough to accidentally relist an item manually - I have done it on more than one occasion.

What comes to my mind is this -

We all know how long it can take for an item listed at say 8.20pm to be visible.  Interesting that  your item was instantly visible to the buying public and someone swooped on it  and it sold within 15 seconds?

Is there some feature that allows prospective buyers to be notified of a particular item so they can jump in?

Something doesn't sit quite right here??!!

[harley_babes_hoard]

you can subscribe to emails to alert you once an item is listed but it isn't usually that quick. I usually get it the next day.

There are kazam. Some have notifications on their list.  I have sold items like that and wondered the same thing. 🙂

OK, thanks and to HBH as well.  I didn't know people could do that.  

I guess you learn something every day!!!
