[SEL] eBay Jollies?

[Mark Shulaw]

Malarkey. If you mess up a bid like that all you need to do is retract your 
bid, ebay will even help you do it if its an abvious error bid like $1966. 
instead of $19.66. He had five days to do this and he didn't ?? Just sat 
back and hoped that someone would outbid him on a $1966. error bid for a 
$50. part????  I'm still not buying it.  I have some ocean front property 
here in Ohio for sale.
  And now If the seller and buyer want to void the sale they can do it, 
Null and void the sale thru Ebay, the fees are rescinded and the seller 
relists. Or another alternative is for the sorry buyer to pay the seller 
his Ebay fees and the buyer relists.
