quote:Fortunately he got outbid,
Another good reason not to cancel a buyers bid even if they ask, let them do it and it ends up on their profile as a bid retraction.
For all you know he does it a lot and by getting the seller to do the cancelling keeps him squeaky clean.
If you had cancelled and there was only one other bidder of course the sale price would have been the start price. There is a chance they would fend of a genuine bidder but thats part of the 'game'.
Quote : "wouldn't have paid anyway because he'd claim "I made a mistake" or "you didn't cancel my bid."
Don't think this would hold any water in an unpaid dispute because as I expect you are aware he could have cancelled.
That's e-life
