[QUOTE="Blaubart, post: 1720148, member: 37498"]I've never had this happen, but I've heard about it enough that it's among the top reasons I haven't sold on FeeBay in a long time. IMHO - For auctions to work properly, bids need to be legally binding. If you're the top bidder, then you just bought the item. They way FeeBay is running it, the top bidder has first dibs on the item. If they want it, great! If not, just walk away. I would assume the best thing to do in these circumstances is to offer the item to the next highest bidder. When you do, does FeeBay disregard all the bidding activity from the bidiot? For example: Item starts at $1 Bidder A bids $100 Bidder B bids $50 Bidiot bids $101.01 and wins. When you make an offer to the second highest bidder, in this case Bidder A, do you get to set the offer amount, or does FeeBay automatically select either $100 or $51? There are valid arguments for and against all three options.[/QUOTE]
