A$ 11,750 bid SCARES Me !!!

[pedro_the_one]

Hi Mario ....

Can you please look at Item 280281103319 which I recently won with a bid of A$160.50.

An amount of $11750.00 has appeared in my bid column, but I have beenm quoted myREAL bid price of $160.50 by the seller.

Note that winning bid $160.50 plus Postage $10.00 = $170.50 total !!

Where did the $11750.00 come from ???

pedro_the_one, I just checked - Gixen absolutely never updates the maximum bid column. You must have entered this bid yourself (typo?) into Gixen. You were very lucky that no one placed a bid higher than what you were really willing to pay. The final price is the minimum required to win (up to your maximum bid).

Thanks Mario ....

Explanation accepted ........... on reflection, my original Gixen was for $175.00 and was subsequently changed, in the same operation, to $160.00.

I had forgotten this at the time of posting ...... obviously I never checked the cursor position at the time and somehow merged the two bids !!!

I now class myself as VERRRRRY lucky....................

Just imagine trying to explaine that mistake to a deliriously happy vendor ..... or a rather sceptical court .... or, worse still ... the WIFE ???

So, my mistake, could have been a lot worse .... but still GIXEN RULES !!
