Hoping someone outbids me.

[Gypsy]

Ever been here? You click that "confirm button" and a couple minutes later you''re kicking yourself thinking... DARN IT. It''s pretty but...

 

[CharmyPoo]

You can always withdraw your bid by saying you put in the wrong amount (which is sorta true )

 

[swingirl]

I thought once you bid, you bid. No turning back.

I once had a seller reverse my bid. It was an honest mistake. I bid on something that needed another part and thought the whole thing was for sale. It was my mistake but the seller understood. It was early in the bidding and they knew I would be outbid. (I didn''t, though)

 

[Gypsy]

Oh I'd pay for it if I bought it. I just think I *may* have bid low enough that someone will come along and 'steal' it from me... which in this case I will be happy to have happen.

I've retracted bids before, but only because I've genuinely typed the wrong number... like the time I meant to bid 6 dollars for something and hit the six twice, so I ended up bidding 66 dollars. But that's the only kind of thing I'd retract for. besides if you use that reason, you HAVE to re-bid on the item. Otherwise ebay will flag you.

If I win the setting I win it. I think it's pretty. I just don't have anything to put in it. I did find two stones that would work from two sellers I would buy from, but neither are in a color that interests me IN THE LEAST to own. So... if I do win it. I might have to ask for something custom cut by Dan. A nice rectangular barion from him would look very nice in the setting. Plus if I win it at the price I bid on it for... I could gift it to someone by putting a nice center in it (even if it wasn't a color I'd want for myself).

I felt that way when I bid for my Michael Beaudry band. I was even more freaked out when I won. And even MORE so when I decided it MUST be a fake. It worked out in the end though and now I am so glad I bid.

Ebay won''t flag you and you don''t have to rebid..I have canceled quite a few bids before with out a peep here or a peep there..maybe they do flag you but not if you are a power seller or something..never had an issue before and trust me I have canceled quite a few bids...if you are still worried, they will send you a warning or something first but take no action...money..money..money is what they want

Ooooooh it's the color of beach glass. How pretty is that. Would look lovely in that setting. Have to say. They look made for each other to me.

Wanna setting?

It's calling your name. I've bid low on the puppy so you can outbid me easily. I promise.

[Gypsy]

LMAO. Happy to enable. It''s a really pretty setting. And I have to say that when I saw it the first thing that occurred to me was one of Dan''s Barions.

we''ll see how the other bids go! i think that stone would look nice in there.

 

[Gypsy]

Let me know if you get it though, okay? I''d love to see it set with your stone if you do!

 

[cellentani]

Gypsy, that''s a pretty setting - too bad I don''t have a stone that size just laying around. And holy crap, what a steal!!! I could go for a setting that price after the bidding nonsense I got into last night!!

 

[D&T]

yep a few times, I''ve retracted my bids a few times also, but I do go back in bid just the one time dollar amount per ebay rule, not put a maximum dollar amount, and so hoping someone out bids me, but if no one bids, and I win, I''ll pay, its usually smaller ticketed items.
