I think you can even go a step further when you bid on a raw card and that is to tell the auction house that you plan to send the card in if you win it to a grading service. I've had several people request this in my auctions and I simply hold the consignor's money until I hear back from the winner. Once I pay the consignor, it's a whole different complicated mess. Buyers have an obligation to communicate this. The rules were fair and square and clearly when you buy a card listed as an 1/8" small you are incurring an enormous risk. And yes, ALWAYS read every auction house's rules before you bid. That is an automatic!
