    Your suggestion makes sense, but I am not aware of any auction software that will actually do that. Also the bidder may be a bit "iffy" if the missing item was the one he/she actually wanted & the rest were just makeweight.

    This has happened to me a couple of times. The first time, the missing item was a major part of the group offer so I declined the offer and emailed the bidder.

    The other time, the missing item was of minimal value (50c out of $40), so I accepted the offer and offered the bidder a refund or an alternative.

    Both times all was well.....

    I'm not sure that the software could work this out. I see the group offer as basically a 'snapshot in time' ie, what things were like when the offer was made.

    If say, you sold normally one of the 4 lots between the bidder making the offer and you accepting it, then I wouldn't think it likely that this would be recognised as the group offer has no 'standing' in the items available for sale or sold when the actual sale was made.

    That is exactly my understanding. As the offer is merely a suggestion, it will not form part of the mainstream until the seller accepts/rejects etc or it expires. All changes have to be done manually by the seller or buyer.

    Quite right but manual rejection or acceptance only works if you close the missing item after rejection rather than before.......if 1 item from the offer has been sold, the offer automatically lapses by default. The failed offer should automatically disappear after the time-limit expires.
