Frequently Asked Questions |
Although this does not happen that frequently, since normally sellers are eager to sell their lots, it can be disappointing when it happens. Keep in mind that although Carsdiecast Auction team cannot "force" a seller to honor the final auction results, you as the bidder can and should leave appropriate feedback for the seller using the Feedback Forum.
Keep in mind that many people don't access their email daily, so they may not be intentionally ignoring you if you don't hear from them.
You should have received an email soon after the auction listing the auction number, and the winning bid. The email is sent on behalf of the seller to you, and the "From:" contains the seller's email address. Auction results are available on the original item's auction page, for up to 30 days after the scheduled close of the auction. If you have the lot number, enter it into the "GO TO" box on the left side on the Home Page. If you have lost the lot number, then do a search based on keywords for the Lot you are looking for.
There is nothing wrong, the system is working correctly. Being immediately outbid means that an earlier bidder specified a maximum bid higher than the maximum you just specified. When you hit SUBMIT, the other bidder's "proxy" immediately placed a bid on his behalf, just enough to outbid your maximum, to ensure his position as high bidder. When you place a bid with a maximum high enough to outbid all other bidders, your proxy will protect your position in the same way.
There is not a great deal that you can do about the problems that you may encounter with a particular transaction other than what is already open to you through normal legal recourse. However for Cars Diecast Auction to be effective all public feedback positive or negative, regarding a transactions only goes to improve the effectiveness of the Cars Diecast Auction system. Constructive mature criticism of a seller or buyer assists all other users to identify potential problems when bidding, making the Cars Diecast Auction system a safer place to buy and sell.
Feedback forums can only be truly effective when all users approach the feedback forum with a mature and fair attitude, remembering that there are always two sides to a story. A bidder should never be dissuaded from bidding on a lot because the seller has had negative feedback, but rather judge each particular case on its merits.
If you are making a complaint about someone in the feedback forum, please try to resolve the conflict with that person directly before leaving negative feedback.
Please note! The Cars Diecast Auction system does not allow a user to delete or modify any feedback once it is posted.
To use the feedback forum simply go to HELP/SERVICES section. From there click 'Leave feedback about user' link and enter the user name of the person you wish to leave feedback on.
Alternatively, sellers will have a link to their feedback forums from their listing pages. Sellers can access bidders' feedback forums from their seller homepages.
