Initially this mommy say WTG many items and requested for interested mommies to place bid at the auction.. Now she added in some clause when the bid price now is $50++++.. Wow, she expects the winner to honor this price for the cot bumper???
http://sg.auctions.yahoo.com/sg/i:Free%20Pre-Owned%20Classic%20Winnie%20the%20Pooh%20Half%20Cot%20Bumper:230467684
And she forwarded an email to the mommies who bidded the cot bumper.. I have forwarded it to the moderator's email addy..
Pls look into this matter.. Tks!

To be fair to all mummies who may not be online right now and always not as fast in reserving and always losing out, decided to use a different mode of distributing these items. Hope you all understand.

My explanation:
I <font color="ff0000">did not add in new clause as the amount hit more than $50 because I want to make a profit from something that is not worth so much.</font> The statement is
<font size="+1">added to highlight</font> to the interested mummies that they put the price they need to honor it. A regulation set by that site.

Hi please take note that the amount you bid for is the token amount that you need to pay when you win the auction. Pls email me at
[email protected] if you wish to change your bid. Otherwise, final winner would be required to honor the final bid amount as per Yahoo Auction's Term and Condition. Do email me if you change your mind. Cheers.
<font color="ff0000">As soon as I know about this issue, a personal email was sent to each individual mummy to remind them of the terms set and they are not new to the system and should know about this. Thus I am giving them the option to change their bid which is ridiculous to me too.</font>
This is the email I sent:

By the way, the Email was only meant to be sent to mummy0707 (17); toes_inc (7) and xiaoyap (87)</font> which I still dunno how come abyane got the email but anyway, it doesnt matter to me coz i did nothing wrong. Infact two mummies replied me about the item and asked me to remove their bid and said word of thanks</font>
Highlighted in brackets () is their individual rating that shows that they are not new and are fully aware of how auction works. I am merely sending a reminder of the auction clause as a goodwill and hopefully can resolve the matter and keep the token amount as low as negliable at my end</font> Din expect the case to be excalated to another level... SigH~~~
<font color="0000ff"><font size="+1">Chin Leng, pls remove the thread.</font> I am disappointed by how the forum has become now compared to last time before some unique group of mummies joined. Pls close the thread before I become the next FAMOUS ONE... for <font color="ff0000"><font size="+2">GIVING FREE ITEMS FOR PROFIT??!!!</font></font></font>
<font color="0000ff"><font size="+1">Hi Abyane</font></font>
Pls clarify and get your facts right before you jump into conclusion and make any accusation. It is hurtful to know that good intention got twisted! Thanks. By the way have mailed out your free item.
I will not responds further to this thread to closed the chapter as do not wish to increase the bandwidth to Chin Leng for providing such a wonderful platform. Cheers and thanks to all who are interested.
