Good evening everyone. Did you ever heard of this one: 

Dear youckoulele,

My grandaughter bid on this without my permission, I don't want this????? (quote)

Come on .......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I had to share with someone)

Bye,

Youckoulele :-)))

Yes I have although "daughter" is more common than "granddaughter"

No biggie, just cancel the transaction using the correct reason.

[cumos55]

How about...

Buyer asked ... Please cancel as I already have this videotape

I agreed to cancel  this buyer's purchase of a ..... book

[ironchachi]

Wow-that's a good one...could of replied free rewind included.

Yes, this happens every now and then.  Sometimes the cat is the culprit; sometimes kids really do go nuts on eBay.

Whether it's a real explanation or a lie, it won't affect you as a seller (i.e. no defect) if you simply process a cancellation of the transaction using the reason "buyer made a mistake".  

Trust me, the buyer will most likely never come back to leave FB, but if they do, they'll be so happy to have been let off the hook that any FB will a glowing thank-you.  In that case, you may make a repeat customer when she does have some cash.

There are all kinds of reasons like that..many of them bogus but as mentioned...its best to cancel the sale so that you get your fees back and move on.

[youckoulele]

Thanx to all of you who have replied.

All ends well:  the thing is the auction is still on. So I suggested that she cancel or retract her bid, which she did.

Have a Happy New Year full of joy, happiness and good health,

Sincerely,

Youckoulele :-)))
