You offered to sell them for ten cents and you got $31 - what do you mean it sold for less than you wanted. You only wanted 10¢! Including free shipping.

 

Collect and ship is all you can do, it is what is right and what you agreed to.

 

Next time you sell something don't offer it for a dime if you want eleven cents.

A bid is not an "offer" - a winning bid is a binding contract, which both you & the winning buyer are obligated to honor.

 

Why in the world did you start the bidding at 10 cents???  What if you'd only had one person bid on the boots?  You'd be selling those boots for 10 cents...

 

Complete this sale & learn a lesson from it...as new as you are, you can't afford the negative feedback and low DSRs you're almost assured of getting.

You're not rejecting a "bid offer" you would be rejecting a sale.  And that has consequences -

 

negative feedback (which could be very damaging to your ebay selling)

low DSR's

not getting your fees refunded

being reported to ebay for seller non-performance

 

Ebay isn't about bidding/buying and changing your mind.   Or listing/selling and changing your mind.  It's about commitment to the purchase or the sale.

Has buyer paid? Listing ended 12/17. If so don't drag your heels, get those boot shipped.

 

Next time start the bid at the lowest amount that will be acceptable.

 

The highest bid at the end of the auction always wins!

The only way to prevent items from selling for less than you want is to list them for the price you want.  If you list for less, you must sell them for less.  You don't want buyers to get angry, file cases against you, and leave bad feedback.

 

Ship the boots.
