First time involved in a online auction with this site. http://www.bidfun.com.au/bin/detail/22769/apple-iphone-3gs-8-gb-black.html. It was exciting initially but the bidding process kept on going on and on and many times I thought I won the Item as time out, but a new bid appears suddenly. The system allows new bids to come after time out. I kept on increasing my bids and kept sufficient funds. I went to bed around 2am and in the morning I found a bidding has been closed at $44 when I have put Auto bidding to a maximum $50. The system has accepted a lower bidder than my maximum price. I could not find any contact number or email to report this incident. The bidding has cost me over A$300 through paypal. I have attached the final bidding online page. I would like to hear from others on similar situation on this site. Please be aware of this site and appear to be a scam. I would appreciate if there is a way to get a refund.
