What does this mean?

[Sorrell]

I just recieved this email from a seller on aquabid who I won an auction for, I don't know what it means...

Hi
You can to abrogate my betta because high expenses .
Thank you
Natee

Does that mean he can't afford something? I don't get it...aren't I responsible to pay for the shipping?

To abdicate is “to give up a high position such as a kingship,” as in Edward VIII abdicated the British throne, or “to give up a right or fail to exercise a responsibility,” as in He abdicated his responsibility and let his family fend for itself. To abrogate is “to repeal, cancel, or annul an agreement or treaty,” as in The dictator abrogated agreements that no longer suited his purposes. To arrogate is “to seize or appropriate wrongly to yourself,” as in The general arrogated all civilian authority to himself, or “to attribute without reason” or “to ascribe as to a source,” as in He arrogated to the prince several inflammatory statements, each suitable as a basis for opening hostilities.

Sounds like something happened to the fish, and they don't want to ship it. I would at least email them back and ask them to explain. If they know that word, then they should be able to say it easier.

The reason it confused me is because this seller has many auctions currently up on aquabid...if this is a problem with money, why are those still up? I'm not out anything because I haven't paid yet, that email was a response to mine asking where and how much to send. Just confused

 

[xXMrBonesXx]

sounds like they're saying you cant back out because of high expenses

 

[The-Wolf]

abrogate
VERB: To put an end to, especially formally and with authority: abolish, annihilate, annul, cancel, invalidate, negate, nullify, set aside, vitiate, void. Law : extinguish.

HTH

So...is he saying that you bid too much? Maybe he's giving you a chance to back out

 

[luxum]

Sounds like he's using an online translator or something and it's interpreting his intentions... oddly. Tell him you don't understand what he means and ask him to rephrase.

 

[Sorrell]

Yeah i don't get it because I won the fish for $6. So I wondered if he's having finacial problems...I'll write him back and let you know.

Yea, ask for a clarification. It's obvious english isn't this persons first language (nothing wrong with that unless you're trying to do business with english speakers, which in most cases, you are on AB).

I can't wait to find out what they meant, haha.

That's all of our emails, in reverse order...copy/paste and laziness

How did it go from $6 + $5 = $11 to $40?

 

[GuppyDude]

I assume the $40 is for overnight shipping. That's what I paid when I ordered a pair of crowntails from Aquabid.

 

[Sorrell]

The $11 is the cost of the fish and the cost to have it shipped to the transhipper. The $40 is the cost from the transhipper to you. I don't have a problem with that, I just don't understand what the series of emails have meant
