Tempted to start a policy of blocking people that have us remove their bid

It doesn't happen all that often, but it frustrates me that people think this is an option.
If you were at a live auction and placed a bid……you couldn't go and "undo" it, I cannot imagine anyone thinking that was an option. Why do people think they can do it here with these auctions?
Plus, if you ask for your bid to be removed its not something we can do, we have to send a request to support. Typically its handled very quickly.
I just think if you are so out of sorts that you need your bid removed…..I'm done dealing with you.

careful, sounds like complaining to me?
It is your business….. If someone is not following the established rules, then block them and do not think about it any further…..
IMHO, A bid is an obligation. If they cant fulfil their obligation they do not belong on GB.
If they dont pay, I would file NPB with support. Same amount of effort to file NPB as having a bid removed.
I agree with you……….THAT SAID………I did ONCE ask a seller (who is on the forums) to remove my bid, as 3-4 things happened at the same time, and knocked me down financially so far it took me years to recover. I'm STILL embarassed/ashamed to have had to ask that. This was 20 years ago, also.
Things happen.

how would I communicate with you then ????
Yep, your business, your rules. No time for nonsense like that.
The only time I defaulted on a bid was when I was bidding on a part to fix up a 1917 revolver for my brother who died during the bidding I sent a check with an explanation to the seller who sent it back. We have good people here.
I'm not going to do it….
I just had three seperate emails asking to cancel bids.
Some days I spend more time spinning my wheels than actually getting any work done….like today.
I've answered so many questions "did you get my FFL" when they can just look at their order and it is marked "received". I'm just extra frustrated by nonsense right now because tomorrow is THURSDAY and I'm nowhere near getting it all done this week.
BLOCK ALL BUYERS!!!!
It's the only way to avoid having to interact with the ignorami. Ignoramusses? Ignoramusi?

Don't tempt me! :)
BAN them
There might be circumstances that we could all relate to, like mentioned above for asking, but I am inclined to agree, block them. Perhaps they will learn not to drink and bid. I am pretty darn certain you have never said, "I would like to pay you for the gun I sold for you, but times are hard, so maybe next year."
Drinking and bidding is a real thing….I used to see two different guys every week because of bourbon.
was it the same guy and you just saw two because of your bourbon?😉😆
I KNOW I would have liked to have retracted after waking up the next day but I never did. 🤐
More than I care to admit I have bid while happy. For the most part it all turned out alright. I got outbid. Twice I did not and it was two of Kasey's auctions for shotguns…. Well, what is wrong with more than one shotgun?
Drunk logic sucks. I did the hazy high max bid on two identical items I’d long wanted figuring I’d finally get a deal on one. Yep…won both at the “not a deal” price.
Wish I was cured, but I still find myself scanning the auctions while having a couple fingers of scotch. I suspect it’s only a matter of time before I bid foolishly once again.
i am lucky my wife takes the bottle off of me when its gets to far down. Lolol
That could explain a relisted item.
