Tried several beginers auctions, three times when there was 3 or 4 seconds left I placed a bid and it would come up that the auction was closed What? I finally won an auction for 25 bids only to find i would be charged a 2 handling fee. When I tried to compete again, I was blocked saying I had spent more bids than what teh item was worth ad to use the buy it now option. Even with my discounted bids, I ended paying 62 dollars in all for a 50 dollar gift card. There was one auction that had a bid only at 34 cents, with 4 seconds remaining i bid it immediately said it was closed and the previous bidder got it, it happened again on one that went for 8 cents. It did not even give me a chance to place the bid and there was time remaining. It seems like a scam. Besides we don't actually know if those were actual people who won the auction or if it's all part of their scheme. I have a fast DSL copmuter and I know that is not the problem because it did not do it when I was bidding on higher priced items. Consumer beware
