Sold Motorcycle buyer Cancel

[*ghost-rider*]

I listed a motorcycle on 10 days auction, which cost me some money. I had a bid within 2 hours before listing ended. AND the same bidder placed another high bid above that one 45 minutes before ending. The auction ended up with this bidder winning. Over 1 hour later, the buyer has sent a cancellation request because they seem to think they bid on the wrong item. What justice is in this. Have I lost all my money ?

You would have lost the listing fee and will have to pay again to re list it.

Try selling through the 'Classified Ad' method. I think you only have to pay once using that!

Yes, another vote for classified listings here... IME they generally attract fewer potless morons than auctions, plus there's no FVF to pay.
