I bid on an item, and I put in 500 as my maximum bid, but it said my actual bid was 35 because nobody else bid, and so when the auction ended I won, but it took 500 flezz out of my account. No one else bid! Is this normal? It doesn’t seem fair, and if that’s how it works, it should be made clear because it is definitely not made clear right now. If it was a bug, is there any way to get my money back? |

When you put in 500 as maximum bid, that amount of flezz is taken away from you. You’ll get it back when you receive the item – or somebody bids more than you. Check spendfriend. |

I received the item, the money was never given back to me. |

Could the reserve have been 500? Does it work like that? |

do you have a link to the auction?
it’s possible that someone bumped your bid in the last seconds. |

I checked the auction, it shows a record of only me bidding. |

It doesn’t, although there’s been a large call for it to.
Marimba, please post your newsfeed including, and surrounding, the time of the “Congratulations! You won!” as well as a link to the auction. |

ET fixed that, I thought. I can’t remember if it bumps to reserve at the time of bid or end of auction, but I think it’s the latter… which could very well mean that the bidder just happened to bid the reserve amount. |

Did that happen during the time when I was off? I didn’t see a post by him about that, nor a tweet. |
