So, let's say you win a bid on ebay and realize it's a mistake because it's a netbook with an EU AC plug and you're in Canada

1- How would you handle it
2- What happens if you don't pay for it -_-

Won this netbook for $38... It's a pretty bad netbook for that's loose change.

PS: Reselling won't be possible

before i clicked this link, the first thought that came to my mind was "what can an engineering bay possibly do?"

You can contact the seller and if they are nice they may agree to abort the transaction. Some people are really easy to deal with and will understand your honest mistake. The official ebay rules are pretty strict though and I think you can only take a bid back if you accidentally entered the wrong amount or the item changed.

http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/questions/retract-bid.html

So you can hope for the best and try and work it out with the seller but if you refuse to pay then you enter a gray area where just about all ebayers stay out of because reputation is very important on the site.

Contact the seller and explain the situation to him. Listing on ebay is really cheap so he can just relist the item, no biggie -especially if it sold for only 38$.
If you don't pay for it, he can file a complaint with ebay or paypal. Usually this will just result in him leaving you negative feedback though.

I'm sure there are plug adapters you can buy for it. My sister brought her laptop when we went on our trip to Korea and hotels just handed these adapters out.

Ok - I've been told that sellers can only give neutral feedback now and my account may get a strike. Hopefully he'll be nice.

Either way I certainly feel pretty silly right about now.

lol - yeah I don't know how to pick up the right adapter at all

Edit: Apparently most AC adapters use 110v-240v so just a plug adapter would do it... Simple fix I guess. This should be easier to handle than I thought.

You can get a converter/adapter, but it will probably be as expensive, if not more, than the product you will be using it for.

Just contact the seller and tell him nicely that you made a mistake, and would not be able to use the product in any way from your location, you're sorry but appreciate him offering nice products at a low price.


That usually does the trick.
