I'm really sorry, but someone was bidding on this for me on my computer, a long with a lot of other stuff for 'wind up'
Serves me right for leaving myself logged in on my computer, I'm really sorry for any inconvenience caused!
Now, having never sold anything on fleabay, I thought all I've got to do is report it and get them to do some work for a change but it's not as easy as that. As I read it, I have to wait 4 days (during which I should enter into communication with the buyer) and then it will take them 5 working days to 'resolve'. By this time, it will of course be too late to sell the ticket. Although I am loathed to let the scote off the hook, there is an opportunity to sell it to the next highest bidder which is only £2 less, but the third highest bidder is over £26 less - if I do this before trying to resolve it, do I pay extra fees and do I jeopardise any eBay help?
I am tempted to reply to the bidder that either:
a) His account has been used fraudulently by person(s) unknown, in which case he should report it to eBay and the Police immediately.
b) His account has been used by person(s) known to him in which case he should get the money off them and pay me.
c) He knew of the bid which is a binding contract in UK law and that he should pay me.
Any thoughts or experiences to help me?
