Question
I just listed a couple items today that may be somewhat in demand, and I already have emails on 3 of them asking how much I'd take for the item to sell it right now. I don't really want to end an item before it even gets started, so how do I diplomatically tell them I won't end the auctions early?
Answer
Dear you've gotta lot a nerve, I've had several other emails about these widgets and I don't feel that it would be fair to other potential bidders to end the auction early. I suggest you put in your highest proxy bid and wait for the auction to run its course.
Good luck bidding and thanks for your interest in my auctions!
Answer
Dear bidder,
Thank you for the interest in my auction, and your question.
My policy is not to end a auction early.
I have had several other emails regarding this item, and I want to be fair to everyone.
Sincerely,
Seller
Answer
I got a similar one today...."would you take xx.xx to end this auction now?"
xx.xx was 2 dollars above my opening bid, BUT 4.00, BELOW the BIN price...not that I would have sold it anyway, just an FYI moment.
I was TEMPTED to email back & say this ISN"T a flea market.......however what I did send was:
"My buy it now price is stated in the auction. Thanks for checking out my items & have a great week!"
