Retracting Your Bid

When you are the successful bidder, you are obligated to pay the high bid price for the item. As a rule, retracting bids is not allowed. Only two reasons are acceptable as to why you may retract your bid.

Acceptable Reasons for Retracting Bids

  1. You accidentally entered the wrong bid amount. For instance, you bid $99.95 instead of $9.95.
  2. You incorrectly listed the wrong item lot number on the bid form.

In either case, you will need to contact Diane Thibodeaux to request a Bid Retraction Form and submit it for review.

Accountability

Your total number of bid retractions in the past six months is displayed in our database. 海角社区 will thoroughly investigate bid retractions. Abuse of this feature may result in the buyer’s suspension from future 海角社区 surplus sales.
