Non communication from seller
Been trying to buy an item from a seller, have messaged twice over 3 days and put a bid in for the item, all these have gone unanswered, what can I do?

If there are still more than 12 hours left to run you can retract your bid if you wish.

Mentor3 weeks agoBids don't expire. If you place a bid on an auction it stays until the auction ends.

OP3 weeks agoIs says offer expired, its not on auction, I sent an offer hoping the seller would get back to me and it expired this morning

Mentor3 weeks agoAh, you got your 'bids' and 'offers' mixed up.
Two very different things.

Mentor3 weeks agoYou need to understand the workings of bidding and making offers.
Seller is not obliged to do anything with an offer especially if it is low.
Only a bid will buy without seller involvement, or buying using buy it now.
