A bid may be retracted (cancelled)
by the buyer in some cases if the retraction meets the requirements of our
PolQuest.com Online Auction policy. Note: There is no equivalent for bid
retraction in Buy It Now listings. Once you've confirmed your purchase,
you are obligated to pay the seller. There is also no equivalent for bid
retraction for item listings using the Best Offer feature.
Whether you can retract your bid or
not depends on the following factors:
- Why you
are retracting your bid;
- When
your bid was placed and when the listing ends.
You can retract a bid or a Best
Offer for the following reasons:
- You made a typographical error and entered the
wrong bid amount. For instance, you bid C$99.50 instead of C$9.95. If this
occurs, enter the correct bid amount immediately after you retract your
bid. If you do not place another bid, the retraction will be in violation
of PolQuest.com's policy and could result in your suspension.
- The description of an item you have bid on changed
significantly after you placed your bid.
You cannot contact the seller. This means that
you tried to call the seller, but his or her phone number doesn't work, or
that you have tried emailing a message to the seller and it comes back
undeliverable.
