    I'm setting a cut off time of 12 noon tomorrow (Monday 31st Jan).

    If no higher bids than the current £600 it's sold.

    Thanks

    I offered £600 which was accepted, I then get an email asking for vat to be added to the price previously agreed then to top that I get another email saying it has been sold to someone else for more money and hope that isn't a problem.

    What do you think Scott?

    Don't you just love doing business with people like that!

    Thats why I asked you to post your offer in the thread, in the future I'm going to insist people post there offers. This way this won't happen again. We had an offer a few minutes before the end time by PM, I wasn't aware of this until after I'd emailed you. He had also sent payment by this time.

    Thanks

    Scott

    I set a cut off of 12 noon and a member sent me a PM at 11.50 with a higher offer and the domain was sold to him the following day with out problem. (I'm sure he will back me up on this when he reads this)

    The mistake I made was to email Paul, it was a genuine mistake and i've said sorry several times. It wasn't the case that i had a bigger offer a day later and risked my feed back for a few quid. In fact the buyer only paid £610, I was just sticking to the rules I had set for the sale.

    As I posted above I will only post domains for sale in future if the offers are posted in the thread to avoid this happening again :-(

    Do you know the buyer of the domain? Who is he on acorn?

    I guess that will clear things up.

    Email from Scott: Delivery-date: Tue, 01 Feb 2011 08:28:26

    That's 20 hours 28 minutes after the cut off time for the end of the sale.

    Make your own minds up

    As my post above, the message I sent Paul was sent by mistake, I will say sorry again, sorry. It was a genuine mistake. No money changed hands, I didn't scam anyone, I just sent a message to the wrong person. I messaged Paul a couple of hours later when the mistake was spotted.

    Leeds1 was the highest bidder at the cut off time, Paul had stated that £600 was the highest he would pay. The domain was sold to the correct person.

    Can this please be the end of this now? :(

    Its your domain and you do what you like with it. Seems fairly clear cut to me, these hiccups happen from time to time.

    No big deal from what I can see.
     
  18. It seems an honest mistake, I work with scott on a daily basis on his websites and he has always been prompt with payments and I've never been messed about. I'm sure scott has made a genuine mistake and it won't happen again.
