In the past when I bid on an item my bid was hidden unless it was surpassed by a proceeding bidder. If the proceeding bidder raised the bid but did not beat my bid then I was only accountable for the new total which the proceeding bidder raised the auction to. Ex: Starting - 10.00 My bid - 20.00 Proceeding - 18.00 Auction still in my favor at $18.00 Now, if successful, the proceeding bid is displayed and the bidder accountable for their max bid. Ex Starting - 10.00 My bid - 20.00 Proceeding - 30.00 Proceeding Bidder now accountable for 30.00 Why has this changed?
Say I wait three business days after a sale and do not get a response. I figure it's 'one of those kinda buyers' and inform them that I am applying for a Success Fee return, retracting the sale from them and relisting. A few days after relisting the previous buyer notices the item selling for more and feels they are still entitled so go and quietly pay expecting me to drop current auction and release to them? Unless an obnoxious bank fee I can see myself returning payment to sender and blocking future transactions but if a hardened troll they could use other means to conitnue making the pay...
