E-bay does have a way that you can retract a bid due to a typing error.

If the guys smart he will take your $5000 - buy a legitimate set and send that to you.

Ebay doesn't work like that...in order for the 5K bid to come into play someone else would have to bid it upto $4990.

Bidding on them is the worst idea in the world.  Reporting them to ebay as fakes is the right thing to do.  Winning the bid to prove a point can only turn around and bite you in the @$$.  I don't think you want to possibly be out $800 or more while the clubs are in dispute... Doesn't seem like it's worth it to prove someone is a liar. Report it and leave it at that. Don't get involved.  Maybe that's just me though.  Best of luck sir!

I'd retract that bid while you can... It's cool that you realized that the clubs were fake and reported it but dumb idea to bid on them.

Once the auction has only 12 hrs to go the procedure to retract a bid gets more difficult.

I just talked to ebay customer service. They said when the auction gets closer to end, it will get higher priortiy to be reviewed for them to end the auction.

And in no way I would be on the hook. You do not have to pay for the item. If I don't pay for the item, then the transaction is canceled. If the seller can report me. Once that happens I tell them it's counterfeit and that is the reason why the non-payment.

Oh and the seller canceled my bid anyways. So now I'm completely out of it anyways.

So let me repeat the ebay process. When your bid wins an auction. You do not have to pay for it. Period. Straight from the ebay customer service.

Um sorry, not correct. Anyone can win an auction, but not pay. I have had non-paying buyers when I was selling things. I never got paid, so the transaction was canceled.

What would ebay do? Paypal can't take money out of your account.

As long as you don't do it all the time, they keep track how many non-paying auctions you have in the past.

This was my point.  If you keep ignoring the auctions you have "won" by not paying for them, you get reported.  Get reported enough, and your account gets terminated.  Period.  It costs sellers money to list items, and they get charged if it's a NPB or not.  Not paying for something you legitimately won makes you a douche.  If you didn't want it (why the hell did you bid in the first place), contact the seller so he/she can cancel your bid, and the next person in line that actually wants the item can have a chance at winning it.  It's your cavalier attitude that ruins it for the rest of us.

Except in the case we are talking about there are extenuating circumstances.  He's trying to A) Prevent a seller from making money off of counterfeit products, and B) Prevent somebody from unwittingly buying counterfeit products.  I would say that makes him the opposite of a douche.  (That doesn't sound quite right, but you get what I mean)

You are miss-reading it.  I in fact said the same thing, because the items were counterfeit, but Motley01 is implying that it applies to all auctions, no matter what the circumstances are , with no real recourse against the bidder.  Outside of these "extenuating" circumstances, for a normal auction, it would be a douchebag thing to do (which is what I implied).

There, I compiled the two differing views for you.  After those posts, we're talking about bidding in general, on legitimate items.

I understand, but you are jumping to a conclusion that he is a douche with a cavalier attitude who ruins it for the rest of us by doing this sort of thing all the time.  I'm saying that the facts are only this:

1.  He happens to know the rules (and according to him, its because its happened to him several times as a seller )

2.  He is trying to prevent somebody from moving counterfeit clubs by taking advantage of these rules this time.

So, in this case, I think its OK.  In other cases, I totally agree, it would be a douchebag thing to do, but there is no evidence to support your implication and I think it's uncalled for.

WOOSH! (That's the sound of this conversation flying over your head)


Forget the counterfeit case already.  We are talking about bids in general, and he outright said he has no problem with not paying for an auction that he has won because he wouldn't get punished for it, no matter what the circumstances. There, I bolded it for you.  I don't have to jump to a conclusion, because he said it himself.

Nope, trust me, I understand 100% what we are talking about.  Read back and tell me where he says he's done this in any case other than this one please.

All he has said is that the rules will allow him to do it, and he knows it because its happened to him as a seller.

("Um sorry, not correct. Anyone can win an auction, but not pay. I have had non-paying buyers when I was selling things. I never got paid, so the transaction was canceled.")

There is a difference between knowing that there is a loophole in the rules and being a douchebag who uses that loophole.

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
