<sigh>

I tried to purchase something at a Buy-It-Now (a book, for which the seller has many copies).

Unfortunately, I screwed up, and somehow managed to Buy-It-Now TWICE, meaning I must've clicked the button twice.

I've already paid for the one copy I wanted, and emailed the seller of my stupid error.

I tried to retract my 'bid,' but that didn't work. Is there any way to 'retract' a Buy-It-Now?

Worst come to worst, I am certainly willing to pay for both copies, so that the seller isn't out any fees.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

Skorpio "Twitchy Fingers" Gal!

It's a VERY common ebay bidding/buying error and has been reported here several times. That is part of selling with multiple items and a BIN price, the seller can get his fees back from ebay on the honest error.

i was surprised to quickly get a reply: "We have talked with him and there is no problem. He said he would let ebay know we mutually agreed to cancel the one order and he would refund any funds they send him.
