bobgo2627 Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I am not sure if this belongs here or some place else but I was frightened by Amazon.com today. I had an auction going for an iPod Mini going on and had a reserve price on it. The bids were below the reserve price so I cancled the aution.Now this is the scary part. I canceled the auction but I get an email from Amazon stating:********************************************* *************** has won this auction and has secured your 10% First BidderDiscount.Final Bid: $65.00Final Sale Price: $58.50********************************************* **********Now I called into Amazon and they told me, no you did not sell the item since you had a reserve price on it and they did not, as in bids, meet the reserve price so I would not have to sell it.How frigthing this was when I got it and I was like holy crap I am screwed here. So if you have autions on Amazon.com or are placing them, be aware, be very aware. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bozodog Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Do you think this was a "Phishing scheme"? I know I've been swamped with e-bay "Phishes" in my e-mail for several weeks leading up to Christmas... What else did Amazon have to say about it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobgo2627 Posted January 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 (edited) No this was from Amazon. I think this was a glitch or so I hope. It would be looked into by them to be sure that it would not be happening to others. I am upset about this and think this is needing to be told to everyone before posting on Amazon.Do you think this was a "Phishing scheme"?
