Think I found a bug with the Auctions system
Hi there, I think I may have found a bug with the auction system.
See https://www.woodworkforums.com/f275/h...lector-176000/
I had a "Buy now" price of $150 on this and this was clicked by "bigmickm" who is shown as the buyer now. Paypal payment has gone through and I'm happy to sell it to bigmickm.
BUT.....looking in the bids section, it shows that "lushy" also put a bid in for $150 at 9:17pm (this happens to be the same time the paypal email came through so I assume the same time bigmickm clicked "buy now"). I'm not sure who actually bid the $150 first. I take it that bidding at the "Buy now" price doesn't close the auction.
Anyway, just thought I'd point it out, maybe its something that just can't be helped.
regards,
Eamon
Confusion over auction system
I am not complaining about the seller but I think there is confusion over how the new system works
Some timber was listed and the first thing I did was to bid the requsted price, I dont recall a "buy it now option"
there was a delay while my bid was processed but I lost to someone who posted they wanted to buy it, presumably instead of bidding as I had done.
Can we have some clarification please, the sticky doesnt cover it.
What is the official end, a bid or a post
