I had 3 bidders on an item, the highest bidder paid via paypal mode but even after the sale I noticed that the item was eligible for a second chance as it never happened to me I was confused, therefore not sure if the bidder changed his mind altogether so i search wether this nfo was explained somewhere but once more I have to rely on you guys as ebay website is so confusing :(

Thanks :)

Second chance offer is an automated reminder which always appears if you have had more than one  bidder.

 

Some seller sell identical items by having a single auction. They sell to the winning bidder and make second chance offers to as many underbidders as they want to.

 

Occaisionally you may have a non-payer. After completeing an unpaid item dispute you could use the second chance offer.

 

Ignore it.

 

The reminder will hang around for a few weeks.

It is nothing to do with the buyer.  The second-chance option appears automatically where there are two or more bidders for the original. You can use it if you have a second, identical item available.  Otherwise you ignore it.
