Every time I buy (and pay for) a buy-it-now item, it appears in a "bidding" column
Summary: ptd55 is experiencing an issue with buying 'buy-it-now' items on eBay where these items appear in a "bidding" column even after purchase. They mention being unable to view or retract these unintended bids and express frustration with the lack of effective human support from eBay, only encountering an automated assistant. alpinestars91 also reports experiencing the same glitch, noting that the items eventually drop off the bidding list.
Every time I buy a buy-it-now item, it appears in a "bidding" column, which tells me what I've bid on it, with a certain number of days left for the item - after which it seems I'll win it. If I try to click on "bids", to see and ideally retract my unwilling bid, I'm taken to a blank page. It's not a big deal, save for the prospective hassle of dealing with sellers who imagine I'm buying another of the same item.....
To clarify: 1) these are items that the sellers have multiples of. 2) one of them is already delivered, so it's not a matter of the listing disappearing on delivery...
Has anyone else had this problem? Is this a glitch? Can anyone tell me how to connect with an actual human at ebay? (I'd love to talk to one to sort it out, but all I seem to have access to is the automated assistant, which needless to say is no Deepseek - just a crude program designed to offer one of (it seems) a couple of dozen stock responses....)
