Country: | namejet bid bug Anyone noticed this bug?
You are in an auction with a few others.
You were the first to order the domain so you are the high bidder with $70.
You enter a proxy bid of let's say $100 and boom!
Bid increases to $80! WTF?
Namejet support is saying some incomprehensible things trying to cover this up.

Country: | what reaaaaly annoys me is this:
you bid more than 70 on pre-release.
after the auction, you don't get the domain
you are unable to remove the domain from the "My backorders" list
so, after a while, you'll have dozens of domains in that list |

Namejet support is saying some incomprehensible things trying to cover this up. | to my understanding, there is no "proxy" bid at namejet
the bid you enter is what you pay if you win.

After the auction starts what you enter is a proxy bid. Quote:

Country: | I think they might have gotten the bug fixed. The price changed back on a refresh or change to new page. I forgot.
I think namejet could use some or more end user testing. They need domainers in there to search, bid, pay and acquire domains and ask for a detailed report on the experience.

Country: | It was fixed.
I also found another bug relating to the order the domains are charged.
They said they will fix it.

Country: | I just had a nightmare with the proxybidding at NameJet as well. http://www.dnforum.com/f204/shameful...ad-278012.html
If you post a proxy bid you cannot manage it later. Even if you are the current high bidder you cannot reduce the amount of your proxy bid once placed.
For example say I bid $70 for a domain name it goes to auction with you as the high bidder among say 15 bidders. If you put in a proxy bid of $10000 vice $1000. Even if your $70 bid is still the high bid when you make the proxy bid your stuck. You cannot reduce the bid back to $1000 even before any bidding starts. If you try to contact management they will not return calls or emails. You have to sit and watch a bad proxy bid be executed up to three days later. You spot a problem before it happens and they don't care - They need to get their act together are they are doomed.

Country: | I know what you mean.
I was bidding in an auction. I lost but then it went to public auction.
I asked support to remove my proxy bid and instead they removed me from the
auction completely and then I couldn't bid at all!!!
I asked Bridgett to put me back in but she ignored me.
