First, be certain that this is the case. Sometimes, it takes a few days after an auction closes for the parties to contact one another. We cannot force a seller to honour a sale. We understand your disappointment, and we encourage you in such cases to post Transactional Feedback with an appropriate rating, so that other CuteBidians will be aware of this seller's behaviour. This is the minimum price a seller is willing to take for an item.
Sellers sometimes use a reserve price if they are uncertain of the value of an item.
In the event that all bids received on an item are far less than the seller had hoped, the seller would not have to honour any of them. Reserve prices are kept confidential, for obvious reasons. The best way to learn more about another CuteBidian is by reviewing that member's feedback. On any item listing page, you have the option to view the seller's feedback and rating, This system is in place to help you decide who you'd like to do business with based on member's reactions to their past transactions. Specify the maximum amount you wish to bid on the item you want.
