Hi all, I was looking to make an offer on an item on Tuesday and I got distracted and accidentally clicked on the wrong listing and placed an offer. I realised about 20 minutes later and went to retract my offer but the seller accepted just before I was able to. I put in a cancellation request straight after and sent a polite message explaining my mistake. It got to yesterday afternoon without hearing back, then I get an email saying they are refusing my request followed by shopping confirmation 2 hours later. Is there any chance of returning the item or should I just accept the loss? I know this is completely my fault but I feel the seller could have been a bit more accommodating. Thanks!
