I've noticed that Mears is a bit sloppy when it comes to auctions. I won an item once and was even mailed the invoice. But then they contacted me saying the consignor didn't get his minimum bid and that they messed up (by not bidding me up, I guess). So, they couldn't sell me the ball...weird.
Also, I personally have issues with auction houses that seem to never end their 'extended bidding clocks'. Why not just add a few hours back on then instead of always renewing the clock at 14 mins or so? And yes, I noticed this last Mears auction ended a lot earlier than their usual constant resetting of the clocks.
