Auction Setup Incorrectly / Changed
Auction lots are not allowing you to bid the starting price but only the next INCREASED bid?
For example, someone puts an item up for sale with a starting bid of 50g, but when you bid on it the actual starting price is 52g50 instead when no one else has actually bid on it yet.
This isn't how an auction is supposed to be, you set a price & you expect it to be offered at that price, not an inflated price.
You could tell if someone was bidding on something before but I guess now you can't as it shows the next price being higher despite no bids anyway!
I don't know how long this has been like this as I haven't put up a lot in a long time but you used to be able to bid the ACTUAL starting price because that is what it is supposed to be - a STARTING bid, why set a starting bid if bids don't start at it.
I put up lots thinking other similar ones had been already bid on so set my price accordingly thinking their was enough demand, but now I see no bids were likely made on those other lots so I have likely wasted auction fees of several gold..gif)
