Don't use ebay without your glasses on

[RedAsABeetroot]

Just nearly given myself a heartattack. Went to increase my max bid to £145.96. Next thing there's a value of £14596.00 staring back at me and 3 seconds left.
Fortunately I won at a much lower figure than my max bid. Anyone else experienced this or know what Ebay's T&Cs say if you clearly make an error.

You can retract a bid, if it is a genuine mistake. I have done it before, accidentally bidding £200 instead or £2.00

Thanks. Nice to know. Fortunately there was only 1 idiot making stupid bids.

I've done it with a bank transfer. I sent a mate £100. I'd added an extra zero and shipped him accross a grand

Thank god he sent it back almost instantly. Banks are even worse. Hardly any rights if you've sent the wrong amount or to the wrong person. You have to hope they will do the Right thing and sort you out.

Somebody put a couple of hundred in my bank A/C about 10 years ago. Got a letter of bank explains I should ring them regarding a possible banking error.

When I called the bank they basically told me I could keep it if I wanted as nothing they or the individual can do about it !!!!

So had a great night out!!!!



Only kidding…

I'm not sure if it's on all accounts yet, but I know on our business account there is now checking that the account number matches the individual or company named on the account.
