Well what's the point then, having the buy now still available after bidding has started completely defeats the point of an auction, I don't care that I lost the auction as such (if it was a fair auction) it's the fact that I placed a bid and someone else is able to just na I'll take that. 3943456887

It clearly states that once the start price has been met, so starting bid, your welcome to look into it, cause this has pissed me off to no end, what's the point of an auction if you can just steel it from under people that are bidding

"If bidding starts on your auction where you have a Buy Now price, the ability to use Buy Now will no longer be available once the start price or reserve has been met." Buy Now will no longer be available once the start price has been met meaning that starting bid removes buy now

So why after I placed a bid on an auction today someone else was able to use buy now and take the item from beneath me, to be clear I made the start bid, someone else made a second bid (buy now) price
