True. That's Dumb. The closing time should be a fixed line in the sand that comes directly from the listing page you're viewing. I basically got locked out of the Auction.  When you place a bid trade me lets you know you're legally obliged to follow through with the purchase. Trademe declared me the winner in these 2 instances. Are they legally obligated to give me the Auction. I mean how can their algorithms allow for such discrepancy.

This Happened to me last night on 2 Auctions. I had the winning bids on 2 sheds. I refreshed the page every 20seconds right up until it said auction closing, then auctioned closed, then you won! It showed my winning bid in the bid history. There was no option to place another bid. About 10mintues later i checked again for it to show this listing was sold to another member! What went wrong Trademe! This is incredible frustrating. We missed out on $20k worth of shed.
