That's true Zepher, I got a little angry for that. But let's say someone bids 0.250BTC, locks basically every bidder, and in the final minutes he cancels it and I'm stuck with a way lower bid.
That sounds fair? For me and for others who would placed some bids if it wasn't the 0.250BTC
I know, and I do understand where you are coming from, and no, it is not fair on you or anyone else.
The way to avoid something like this is to put a term into your auctions when you start them.. something alone these lines (but type it to suit/protect you):
- If you make a bid, but you have bid an incorrect amount, you are free to change it within 15mins of the post. After this, you are liable for the bid you place. Further to that, by making a bid, you are effectively saying that, if you win this auction, you WILL pay the amount you bid.
So something like this won't help you right now, but it will for future auctions
