this is just pure feedback nothing else:
I did a BIN yesterday and won but here is my experience, I am wondering if anyone else has had this?
so I am bidding on drop, can't see a bid on NF of course, seems someone wants the domain as well as the bidding on drop goes up.
so I put in a reasonably high bid just to see what happens, they creep up $5, then another $5 and then stop, so we all know they are going to snipe.
haven't even bothered with NF yet, no point as I can't see anything anyway.
drop goes up a few more bucks, so I think they are at their top?
so I finally check NF and it has a "buy it now" which I thought was fair, so I went and bid the BIN, the domain moved up my screen but the buy it now stayed for everyone to see ?
so I thought? is my computer cached?
so I went to helenas which computer which isn't and there it was "buy it now" !
I opened another laptop and still the buy it now is there.
SOOOOO, finally to my point ( sorry ) but here is what I thought, if I do a buy it now my expectation would be for that to disappear or maybe turn to SOLD but it didn't.
so because of that what if the person on drop came over to NF and saw buy it now and tried to ? what if they for some reason put in an extra dollar on my BIN ?
or was I the second person to do the buy it now? so at the end I get told I didn't get it?
there was just no indication of success, as it was the first time I had done that in the new system I was totally confused, thankfully it all turned out ok but I think there needs to be a change , maybe your screen show fireworks, or some kind of flashing animated gif from the 90's ?
anyway you get my point.
so is it just me?
