Market place teasing T_T

[Chocolate-y Goodness]

Don't you just hate it, you're in a heated bidding battle refreshing like a crazy person when suddenly the seller of the item takes off the item. I get so mad twisted

People should really start bids at the minimum amount they want for a certain item  

[Gainsborough-Aerith]

I do think that's unfair. I think once a bid has been placed on an item, you shouldn't be able to cancel the sale.

While I agree with Sellers needing to put minimum bids on their stuff, if they want it to make a certain amount, I also think that a person who is trying to get money for that 1000 gold Item they bought has a right not to have to sell it in an auction for 20 gold. If they are ok with that price, then it is good for all parties involved. Otherwise, it is the sellers prerogative.

Lord knows I have lost out on some sweet deals because of it, but the Item on auction is still the property of the person selling until that last second is gone, and they have the right to change their minds lust like anyone else does.

If it frustrates you, maybe thinking of it this way will help. When you are bidding on an Item in marketplace, you are offering to purchase that item for a certain price. While most people see it as one up-man-ship between you and the other bidder it is also about making the seller happy, if the seller is not happy they will not sell. Often times it is just that simple.

I found I don't like when sellers do that but then again being the hypocrite I tend to become I do the same thing. Just yesterday I had something up to place bids on and it wass worth 400 gold, I refused to let it be bid on in the last moments at just 10 gold. Doesn't seem all that fair to me. The buyer gets a badass deal but I get screwed. Naturally I took it off and put it on buy only as usual. I never liked those bid rounds for one of my items. I get screwed out of making gold. People are cheap and greedy, get over it. That's how it's always going to be.

Basically complaining about it won't do any good. Find a new bid to start bidding on. Making a big deal of it won't change how people operate. =/

I really hate it when people do that. I only ever take the item off if noone has bidded on it and I want to fix a mistake I made eg. forgetting to put anything in the quantity box (which is a mistake I make alot.)

 

[PWND In The Face]

I hate when people do that
But at the same time I sometimes do that too  

[stukasa-chan]

Yeah, I totally know what you mean. I almost never put bids on my items, and when I do, I put the starting bid high enough that I won't have to cancel it. Some people yank their items over and over again... Eventually I just stop trying to get items from those people altogether. ^^;;  

[engineer-of-doom]

I rarely use bid at all.

I did recently when I was selling my tin hat. Before that... months of just Buy It Now only.  

[secretillusion]

I only use the Bid option when I think people will be willing to spend time watching the item.
