That happened a few too many times to me in the past, so I made a policy decision never again to accept any second chance offer. I will, however, consider bidding again if the seller chooses to re-list the item. <br /> <br />Anyway, I am getting off the point, once a bid is placed on Ebay by Gixen it is never withdrawn by Gixen. It is unlikely that you would be able to remove an accepted bid from Ebay after the auction had completed either, even if you wanted to.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>TIO200</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu Dec 31, 2015 9:03 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: EBAY SECOND CHANCE OFFERS: DO THEY DISAPPEAR AFTER PURGING </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"><span style="font-size: 18px; line-height: normal"></span>Does anyone know what happens to ebay second chance offers once the auctions have ended and I or anyone looses that auction? if we purge our bids after the auctions are over, does that mean we will not receive any second chance offers from ebay sellers if that winner decides to cancel or doesn't pay up? Second place bidders are usually then offered a chance to receive that item.
