Retracting an e-bay bid for a frame

Midlife · Nov 11, 2012

Advice please..

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Raleigh-bike- ... 0019559%26

I have bid on this frame and the seller will not accept anything but cash on collection. I have said I will arrange a courier to collect and pay by Paypal etc but no, he wants me to retract my bid..

Two things....

1, How can I retract my bid as he has requested

2. Looks like a very nice frame to me LOL

Hope you get outbid or find a friend in Stockport... time to head to the wanted adverts

You can go through the bid retraction process (1), but it is easier if the seller cancels it (2).

2. http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/manag ... #canceling

Shame about the frame though.

It's possible to retract a bid without much hassle, just a few mouse clicks.

I'm surprised at this; I've purchased a few things from this seller in the last year or two - admittedly, only small items, such as Stronglight chainrings. He certainly accepted PayPal then.

IIRC, he is also a member of this forum.

It says PayPal on the listing - if what you say is correct, then he is in the wrong and should sort it out IMHO

pay pal

So far as I know you have to accept pay pal as a condition of listing. Thats because e bay own pay pal and so it is very much in there interest.At one time they would close your listing if you asked for cash. I think you would find a sympathetic hearing over the pay pal bit but the seller can still demand collection only

is yours the highest bid and how much more have you bid , as with most items this will go up a bit more towards the end .

if seller has asked you retract the bid then ask him to cancell it

Report the tosser to ebay telling them he doesn't accept paypal as a payment too! ebay will sort him out!!!

I wonder if there has been a crossed wire somewhere?

have contacted him again just to clarify the situation as I am happy to pay by paypal and arrange pickup all at my expense....
