eBay

Second chance offer

So I was bidding on a pair of trousers and was outbid therefore I didnt win the item. I got an email from Ebay to say I hadn't won and at exactly the same time, I got sent a second chance offer from the seller. Is that not a tad suspicious or am I being cynical

I would speak to the seller and ask why you were offered a second chance offer so quickly. If your gut instinct is telling you not to buy I wouldn't Smile

Yeah it sounds like the seller was up bidding (using a different username obviously) but then you didn't bid higher.

I've had this before.

I declined the second chance offer (because I'm evil and wanted to punish them for cheating Grin)

sounds very dodgy - look at the bidding history of the item - you can click on the winning bidder and see how many of this sellers items they have bid on. You can report for shill bidding.
