I would just ignore the comment. It is unlikely that anyone will bother
checking or attaching much significance to it.

Subject: [MOPO] How Would You Handle This eBay Retraction?
One of my posters up on eBay had a bid retraction. Only bid on it so far
and only for $10. No big whoop EXCEPT the reason the bidder used was
"Could not contact seller."
I wrote him and asked how he contacted me as I was concerned there may
have been or currently may be an eBay glitch in Messages. Well he replied
and this is a direct quote:
"Unfortunately ebay does not allow a person to state their real reason for
the retraction. They only give you 3 choices and none made sense. I
selected the one of least resistance. I retracted it because I bid too
fast and looked at the close up pictures today. I realized that I could
not display it as is, and the cost of linen backing was too much for this
poster.
I am sorry for the reason but if you go to the ebay site map and try to
retract any bid you made (you don't have to retract it) but just go there
and you will see what I am talking about.
Again, I am sorry but it was the easiest one to check off."
What really troubles me is this retraction can make it sound like I am
either unreachable or ignoring questions from bidders. Neither is a
positive thing for an eBay seller.
What, if anything, would you do?
I am considering putting him on my blocked bidder list and relisting the
item (no other bids on it so far) just to get rid of that retraction
comment.
Thanks
Pov
