have a live auction ending in couple of hours, is x5 day auction

 

had an initial early bid at the highish start price. have two more

 

bidders now, one of which is making strange bids and has already

 

retracted two bids, the underbidder has made three bids to try to

 

become high bidder he did but the strange pattern bidder then

 

rebid higher to become high bidder now. in between he has

 

retarcted one bid. then as high bidder he made a further bid

 

which he has now also retracted? although still high bidder.

 

bidder has x2 negative feedback in last 2 months [selling not

 

buyer activity].

 

am concerned other prospective bidders will be put off and not

 

bid at auction end believeing current high bidder is not real.

 

if i block the bidder now do ebay just block any further attempt

 

to bid or do they also retract any current live bids at sametime.

Hi neil6333,

 

If you block him it does not remove his already placed bids [It just stops him making more] you have to do that -

thx for that

 

after blocking him is he able to retrat his current live bids?

 

or does blocking him stop him doing this or is he still able to do this

 

particvularly at the end of the auction when he realises that he has

 

been blocked maybe

 

 

thx

You must cancel their bids now before the auction ends or you are stuck with them as a buyer
