Anybody selling something similar, maybe finishing around the same time? Maybe they're screwing yours up to improve theirs, with a fake ID?

I think you can delete the bid. Look in the help items, the links are all over.

also, I think any seller should have the right to deny the item to anyone for any reason.

businesses can do that right?

Only if the customers are healthy white male christians without any babies stuck to their tits.

Yes. But since the OP doesn't seem to even want to try to figure it out on his own, I wont help.

Thanks dude, just cancelled those bids from those *#@&*@#% sticks.


I owe you a :beer: :D

Sweet! Make it a black butte porter! Hope the auction finishes o.k. but watch out for those asshats coming back in a 2nd time.

Well, thanks to you i also blocked those asshats as well so hopefully those are the only two scumbags i'll have to deal with :thumbsup:

Ahhh, now i think i know what these guys were trying to do.... i read about this somewhere else. Two guys bid an extreme amount on an item, right before the auction ends, the 2nd highest guy removes his bid and the highest guy's bid falls all the way down and gets a great deal on a laptop... is that how the scam works?

there has to be more than 12 hours left of the auction to cancel. thats what the site says. now, whether it still lets you do it anyway, i'm not sure.
