A friend of mine bid at the very last minute so I will probably never know if the alleged scammer was going to scam; my friend is willing to keep the BTC, it will be his very first BTC, maybe it will get him interested in BTC, he has quite a lot of gold so he is interested in sound money.
I think I will send him 0.011 to be fair, he has no idea of the price but I explained the bid has a huge premium
Topic: I did something stupid Paypal/Ebay (Read 1360 times)
You can cancel a bid. I did it once but do not remember how it was done. You are free to sell to who you want to sell, or not to sell.
There's a time-limit on to cancel bids. Once the auction gets close to finishing you can't cancel them.
Yes you can cancel up to 12h but someone has bid you can only stop the bid and sell to him.
I have a friend who is signing up on his mobile phone at the moment and will bid if he is fast enough
Thanks for your help, I am not too stressed by this since we are talking about 1cBTC but it is never nice to be scammed

I think OP is just trying to get somebody to buy his coins lol.
I can stop the bid but the best bidder will win the bidding and I will have to sell to him or get a negative feedback
But cancel his bid first. Did you try this?

You haven't got any feedback anyway. Just create a new account if you get neg-bombed.
Use an Escrow
I am Escrow

Cancel his bid using this form:
http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?CancelBidShow&guest=1
Then block him from bidding again:

Then block him from bidding again:

I don't think you can cancel bids when there's only a few hours left.
I'm not 100% but I think it's possible.
OP, did you try this?
I thought of asking a friend to outbid, I may call one in a minute to ask him. I am monitoring the transaction and if a trusted buyer outbids the alleged scammer I will close the bidding to sell to the alleged trusted buyer
I think that there is a small chance that the guy didn't plan to scam but it is small considering he just registered after I posted my add. I don't have any feedback on ebay but I would like to be able to sell stuff on ebay later, I have my two antminers that I need to sell soon so it isn't very nice to start with a negative feedback
If someone from here buys at 7.50€ or more I will send 0.011

Are you already calculate the price he sell at ebay ? He sell 7 euro. 10mBtc much lower than that price
Hi Blue. I'm actually very new to this whole thing. I was actually considering bidding on Boumalo's auction to help him, but then I checked the rates, and 0.01BTC is trading at about 6.097 EUR average - yet the eBay bid is at 7 EUR (unless I misread something).
This is the site I used to calculate the aggregate rates: http://preev.com/btc/eur
If I made some mistake, please tell me, but as I see the math, it looks correct to me.
1 BTC = 610 EUR
0.1 BTC = 61 EUR
0.01 BTC = 6.1 EUR
From what I see, if I purchased the 0.01 BTC, the bid eBay requires me to place is 7.5 EUR. So I would lose 1.4 EUR - plus the consideration of my time.
People pay a premium price for coins on ebay, so paying a Euro or two extra is still pretty cheap.
No worry. We help each other here. Just tell the problem
That what I tell you. He sell very expensive even for 0.01 BTC. The price should be lower than that. That was the price for bid, not direct buy
Ok, I understand now
I wrote in my original post that an eBay account of 6 years age with no history was also equally suspicious as a scam, and that posting here might just be a way to get someone to 'help' him out by buying his BTC. Then I deleted it - mostly because I did not want to start a flame war or insult someone who might have made a genuine mistake. At least publicly, I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.
Thanks for adding to the topic and making sure I understood. It is much appreciated

Hello Boumalo,
Just pay someone you trust to buy the coin(s). Problem solved.
In your position, I would write it off as a loss. It's less than $10, and not worth the time to chase after.
Add, your account looks like it is around 6 years old with no history, so I wouldn't be too worried about negative feedback. At this stage of the game you're either cutting your losses, trusting a stranger, or contacting someone you know to try and buy it out.
Good Luck,
HJ
