Hi,

I made the stupid mistake to decide to buy an item without having to manage my own bids using the snipe it feature of the provider service named Buyee. First and last time that i use this feature !!!

I strongly suspect the seller named "deepseanet1945" to have organized a scam by using multiple third party accounts.

1) The Seller has multiple times postponed the end of the auction (adding multiple times 5 or 10 minutes extra) to see if I would bid more which i did not.

2) Someone (most likely the seller with third accounts) did manage to test my snipe limit (reaching 1000 more yens than me) then dropped his bid back to 20 000 yens less by some mystery tricks (how is that possible ?)

3) Then the sum magically reached my limit (or not because he did test my limit before) !!!

I did try to stop or lower my snipe limit to the exact amount when I was the highest bidder again (step 2) but the snipe button on Buyee got grey and I had no way to lower my snip limit under the limit i fixed.

How can i contact Yahoo auctions and make Buyee react ? In their general conditions and policy there is no return and if i decide to refuse refuses to take receipt of the item, the company may at its discretion sell, discard, return or dispose of the item and i may not make any objection whatsoever so they can do whatever they feel like...

It seems like some people did complain about this guy :

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
