Just bid on a car and didn't expect to be the highest bidder, looks like i may win this.
Its an escort 1.8 Si with no tax or mot and a rusty wheel arch. Am bidding £150 at the moment.....
Should be cheap for parts.
Or has anyone bid then not paid? Whats the worst that can happen?

You'll get an unpaid item strike. Pretty much nothing to worry about at all tbh. Seller can't even leave negative anymore.

Can buyers retract bids? I thought you needed to message the seller who could then cancel the bid?

So you can here but the seller can reject your request and the reasons to retract are limited.

It must be hard to look at the camera screen and photo something on your forehead at the same time.

I bidded on a set of springs thinking they would fit my car,only to find out they wont.Won the auction for 99p and contacted the seller saying sorry etc and explaining what had happened.
Got a bitchy reply saying an unpaid item strike would be due.
Fair enough if you want to play it like that,i will report you for excessive delivery charges.(69.99 to get a set of springs delivered 2hrs away from his house).Its his 1st time selling an item too.
Its ongoing and the GF is going tits because her account has a strike on it.
