I would like to get some opinions of more experienced forum members on this as it has happened twice now and I would like to know if I am getting screwed or if I am doing something wrong. Here is the situation:
A seller creates a post stating that domain "xyz" is for sale and that they are taking offers. I post a bid in the thread and I am the highest bidder. Without any warning or prior notice, the seller completes a sale to another person through pm. And then posts directly under my high bid that the sale has been completed. Is this normal?
I feel that if you are the high bidder in a sales thread and someone outbids you through a pm to the seller, there should be at least some notification to you as the high bidder that your bid has been exceeded..which would give you time to either bid higher or back out of the sale.
In my opinion, selling domains in this manner accomplishes the following:
A. You piss people off
B. You shortchange yourself as the seller, because how do you know that I would not have bid higher?
Anyone else ever had the same problems?
