discuss What would you do if you accidentally accepted a deal

[Jonathan MacDermid]

This morning I woke up to a message saying there was a $2,000 offer for one of my .app domains that I was looking for closer to around $5k for.

As I was only just awake and had not dealt with an offer through Undeveloped before, I accidentally accepted the offer instead of negotiating.

I will honor the deal if the prospective buyer goes through with the transaction but I am interested if anyone else has made an error like this before and what others would do in my situation?

Well my internet provider made a mistake. They gave me 9 months free service.
If my bank ever makes an error, they compensate me financially and cover any expenses they cost me.

Maybe my service providers are beyond the norm but I chose them as they had good reviews for their customer service.

I understand your viewpoint and that is why I asked what other people would do in my situation but there is value in "honor" or if you want to give it a business term "goodwill".

"Telefonica de España" couldnt charge me monthly payment, I saw it was unpaid and called them, they told there is no debt, I tried to pay from post office but they told there is no debt so I cant just send them money. I called them 3 times...
And the day 6 they cut me the internet, I paid 1 hour later and they charged me double price - 32 euros monthly + 30 euros for reconnect the service. It was 6 month ago and since then I 4 tiemes opened a dispute and gave them my explication, but they ignore me.
A few years ago I had Orange as internet provider, and before to pay for thier services I informed them I will move in 2 months, and they tols there is no problem, you get you internet also in another place. When I moved they told I was there only 1 costumer in the builind I move to live and asked me to pay 150 euros extra. I had no internet, no phone and they were chrging me 32 euros during 8 months until I asked my bank not to pay them. And they began to call me and insult if I dont pay them 150 euro.
I paid more than 200 euros for not having internet.
More examples?

Big companies set the rules to protect their own interests not their clients. When a conflict of interest happen between a client and the big company the client has no choice other than obeying the biased rules. Because the client has to accept their biased rules before buying or using their product.

They can close your account if you click something accidentally as they set the rules and the rules they set allow them to close your account without providing a reason. They won't accept any request if the result is against to their own interests. They will tell you their rules are clear and you accepted those. If the result is good for them they will flex their rules. As you can't memorize all the rules in small print you can't even notice when they breach their own rule. When you notice they will say it's too late to dispute
