Mr Coeur de Lion Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Have an item up for sale on ebay at present, and it had two bids.This morning both bids have been retracted and the reason given is:Mauvais montant saisiWhat's all that about? Two different bidders retracted within an hour of one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tancrède Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 [quote user="Mr Coeur de Lion"]Mauvais montant saisiWhat's all that about?

You’ll be asked to provide a reason why you'd like to cancel your bid. The available reasons are:Entered wrong amountSeller changed item descriptionCannot contact the seller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etoile Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Sorry I cannot help as I rarely use Ebay these days. Ten years ago it was a brilliant idea and a joy to use. Now it is like a bank: Totally commercial, greedy, arrogant and impossible to talk to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 It is people trying to find out what your reserve price is and/or what other peoples bid up to limit is, they accidentally add a zero to their bid and they then become the highest bidder either at just above your reserve price if you have one or just above the highest bid limit, once they have this info they retract their bid.
