SwipeAuctions claims I authorized a $249 purchase on 10/10 or 10/11/10 of a promotional “5000 Bonus Bid Package” that they offered – not in one of their auctions – but by including it (camouflaging it, if you will) in a list of dollar items that I had already bid on and won. They go on to say that I could have declined to buy this item by clicking an “X” in the “Status” column that normally shows only whether an item has been paid for (“Leave Feedback”) or not (“Buy Now”). So even though this $249 item was placed (disguised) in a list on a page entitled “Won Auctions” and was never offered as an auction item, I effectively bought it by default since I didn’t actively decline to buy it. They claim I “actively” purchased it. Needless to say, they have refused my requests to have this charge reversed. I have filed a dispute claim with my credit card company.
