Tim MayerI asked some questions on this, but I really need some help...
I was bidding on an item in an auction...
I was the only bidder all day at a reasonable amount,,,then after the auction end time someone else bid on the item using the 15 minute rule.
I had a ceiling bid on the item which in turn beat that persons bid..They bid again,,,and win...
then a few days later I get an invoice and they say I was the under bidder and the item was mine...
no other explaination,,thats it...Am I obligated...? I feel scammed here as if this bidder never got involved I would have received the item at a decent price,,
if this was a bad or a real bidder why don't they get rid of all bids he put in..basically he drove up the price and then was booted...or at least I am guessing as I was told nothing...is this a schill bidder? is this a scam? I wanted the item but I really feel ripped of here...any ideas, suggestions,,knowledge,,,
again, I don't mind paying up to my ceiling amount if this was legitimate, but why should I pay an inflated amount..does this smell or is this common
thanks
thanks all...
