This happened to me when I listed my motorcycle as an auction with no reserve. The person bid right at the beginning, won the auction, then after trying to communicate with the buyer to arrange a time for collection and payment I was was stonewalled . Total silence, and then two days later they requested a cancellation because the bid was made 'by mistake'. They had plenty of time to withdraw over the 10 days and this obviously had an affect on other bidders who were interested. Why are sellers not protected from this behaviour? It's frustrating and time wasting. Not only that, but to relist i have to pay fees again, It doesn't seem right to me.
