Sounds like a scam, do nothing silly, wait 7 days, sell elsewhere?

Remove from sale, cease communication, sell elsewhere?

It's possible the buyer was in Asia when they set up the account, but now resides in the UK.
I suspect that it's not likely though - is the bid legally binding and is there a close 2nd bid?

Web site based auction company has seemingly taken their % fee from the buyer. Bid supposed legally binding as is my sale - only seeming anomaly is bidder in country not authorised under t&c's to use platform.

Without knowing the site, I'm assuming they have some form of contact, what have they said.

If the answer is wait 7 days then cancel, wait 7 days.

Don't do anything silly, if after 6 days you have some dodgy offer of cash etc. talk to your bank about what to do.

What have the site said?
