Not honoring a winning bid

Be careful if you should be bidding on uBid.com. I'd a poor encounter together lately. I bet on an HP notebook. Once the market closed (in this instance it didn't visited overtime), uBid.com site showed me whilst the champion. Nevertheless, significantly more than one hour later I obtained an outbid notice. I returned to uBid.com site also it confirmed a brand new champion having a bet of $200 greater. I reported to uBid.com. Their reaction is the fact that there is a glitch within their program plus they are not accountable for the error. I visited BBB (Better Business Office) and submitted a criticism. UBid.com gave the same answer. 30 days after I submitted my rebuttal, uBid.com didn't care to react whatsoever. BBB (Better Business Office) subsequently shut my situation with this specific summary “the BBB decided the organization resolved all of the criticism problems and created a great faith and fair attempt to solve them, even though it seems you had been unsatisfied using the result. Consequently, your criticism has been shut at our Agency as administratively solved, and you will be shown as a result within the firm's stability statement for three years, the Agencyis confirming period”, that will be humorous for me personally (particularly, “administratively resolved”). Therefore, I simply wish to reveal my knowledge. You can observe my initial criticism, uBid.com’s reaction, and my rebuttal below. BTW, I discovered yet another thing out of this encounter. That's, today I understand who BBB (Better Business Office) is guarding: their organization people that spend the bureau or customers. Create your summary …

Customer's Unique Criticism:

I had been bidding an HP Pavilion dv5t notebook on UBid.com. The market closed at 2:00pm PST on 11/30. About fifteen minutes following the market closed, I recorded into UBid.com site and noticed that I gained the bet (print out in PDF format could be supplied if required). Nevertheless, during the night after I examined my mail, I noticed an email delivered by UBid.com at 3:05pm PST which claims that I had been outbid (email could be supplied if required). I thought really unusual and drenched back to UBid.com. Certainly the web page confirmed a brand new champion (print out in PDF format could be supplied if required). I called UBid.com on 12/1. Jessica T. Explained that their program had an issue and also the bid went into overtime (and so I shed the quote). I asked her when their program didn't revise the web page, why it showed me whilst the champion about fifteen minutes following the market was shut and confirmed another champion a couple of hours later after I noticed the outbid e-mail from Ubid.com? Additionally I asked her when the market went into overtime, the amount of additional estimates in overtime didn't complement the full time framework based on UBid. Comis bidding principle (market proceeds if somebody makes a brand new bet within three minutes). Jessica couldn't reply my concerns and moved my phone to her boss Brianna D. Brianna subsequently transformed the reason the market didn't get into overtime. Used to do not get inside the normal market close period. Then I questioned her why UBid.com site confirmed the market is near and that I am the champion. The clear answer is their program had an issue. This really is an undesirable clarification and therapy in my experience who adopted UBid.com guidelines to complete business with UBid.com. I expected Brianna when I won a bet, then I'd not have the ability to stop my successful bid and that I could be requested to handle the agreement to cover the market I gained. I'd not have the ability to split the agreement. Why may UBid.com leave from the deal quickly just by stating "Sorry, our bodies had an issue" when their clarification doesn't create any feeling??!! Additionally, a merchant ought to be accountable for the error they created. But, the clear answer I acquired from Brianna is the fact that "Number, we're not accountable for any errors we created". I mentioned I'll protest in other areas to be able to obtain a sensible reaction or therapy. She responded "proceed. All grievances arrived at me anyhow." Whenever a business does business such an arrogant, shady, and reckless method, they must be barred from performing any company before they enhance their conduct.

Obtained Customer Rebuttal:

The reason doesn't seem sensible and it is not appropriate.

1) Attachment #1 may be the print out from uBid.com site about fifteen minutes following the market closed. If their program wasn't changing correctly, why achieved it display the market is shut and that I am the champion?

2) Attachment #2 may be the e-mail delivered by uBid.com that informed me I'm outbid. The e-mail was sent at 3:05: 17 PM PST by uBid.com (in the torso of the e-mail and Gmail suggests that it obtained the e-mail at 6:05 EST), one-hour and 5 minutes following the market was shut (at 2:00PM PST). This isn't right at-all and doesn't complement the reason!

3) After I noticed the outbid e-mail, I recorded into uBid.com again. After that it confirmed another champion! Connection # 3 may be the print out that I noticed from uBid.com site in those days. Observe that the site suggests that the sum total quantity of bid is 22 ("22 Overall Estimates Starting Bid: $1").

With my knowledge and what I noticed (confirmed from the connected print outs), it's easy to comprehend the clarification doesn't seem sensible whatsoever. Something glitch that triggered "the market site wasn't changing correctly" doesn't clarify the products (1) ~ (3) above. Consequently, it's simple to achieve a summary that uBid.com wasn't following a guidelines they put up for that market and was playing methods to seize extra $200 revenue within their wallet.

When it comes to discount, a $5 coupon from the business that doesn't conduct business actually and reliably is useless for me personally.

Observe that the 3 accessories Number 1, Number 2, and Number 3 are contained in the WinZip file attachment.
