Question Advise needed on ebay

I'm selling on ebay mystery auctions e-envelopes with some prizes.

I open new auction that sell e-envelope with chance to win new laptop and only one bidder from 20 will have the chances to get it. The problem is that in my listing I have bidders (6 out of 20) that offer more then $1000 for just mystery e-envelope... not everybody will get this laptop. Just one bidder out of 20 will get it.

I didn't believe at first that people will offer so big bids... some of them will loose allot... what you will do if you was me????

I understand that they all adult and should understand what they doing... but I don't want my feedback to suffer because some losers.

Don't worry the people offering $1000 will all be from Nigeria and would never pay you anyway.

Most likely scammers that are offering, check thier feedback, look for irregularities i.e. majority of them being new users or having changed their name..

I mean if you made it 100% clear, that not every one would win, then I guess you can cancel their bids i think.

I mean its unbelievable the amount of times people dont/misread auction info, i have to end up putting it in multicoloured size 30 writing telling them things which they should have read in the first place.
