Contact the seller - apologise, say you made a mistake - auction can then be cancelled, they get their fees back - no-one loses out.
This assumes that the seller will be reasonable. If not, they can't leave bad feedback for buyers anymore anyway. I foolishly bought a Mark 2 Jag by mistake rather than back out. I really wish I had said sorry and pulled out rather than buy the damn thing. |

Be courtious and explain carefully to the seller. If there has been multiple bids (I assume a bidding auction) then they still have the option to give a second chance offer to the next bidder. Also if you haven't given any feebcak now they won't be keen to give you a poor feedback as you'd likely do the same. As above explain sort it out and hopefully that will be it and if they give a good feedback to you and only if they do first then re-turn it and jobs a good un'

Been there got the teeshirt. A simple nice apologetic email to the seller is usually enough. If it is a proper auction then most people are by and large still the reasonable type we all like to think we are ourselves. If it is a commercial seller then you have rights anyway.

Tell them your Grandma has just died, it works for everything, no-one like to question it. Ive used that excuse a lot. Exept for when she did actually die, I couldnt bring myself to say it then

It's actually this one you want:-
http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/cancel-transaction-process.html You could try saying that it was your three-year-old son who actually made the bid - that seems to work sometimes! |

You can always buy it and re-list it to offload the unwanted item . You may even make a profit !!

If it's Land Rover related, advertise the purchase on here, someone may step in and buy it for you and save any embarrassment
