Scam Exposed
After winning and sending payment for an auction item at an auction which clearly stated that at the close of bidding, there was no item return or recourse for the buyer, and significant penalties for not paying, the item was pulled without any explanation. I still have no idea where my payment went and the auction house is not responding. LiveAuctioneers is completely unhelpful and is not willing to intercede or ensure an answer from the auction house. I checked the laws for the applicable auction states and what is happening is a clear violation of multiple statues. I’ve sent at least five detailed emails to LiveAuctioneers. Buyers beware that when things go bad you’re only recourse is to get a lawyer as a support level is zero.
Update: They say as middlemen they cannot do anything about fraud and further have no plans to expose bad actors.

LiveAuctioneers Review
Great company and auction site - their system is easy to navigate with very helpful alerts.
Seller reserve
Seller reserve is so dumb bc you have to guess what the reserve is and usually it’s more then the items worth
Accidental Bidding when tapping into a live auction
When registering for an auction- be careful not to tap into the “live” item being bidded on. I accidentally did that and it placed a bid and the bidding closed. At $25,000 on something I had no intention of buying. Not sure how I will deal with this but be careful!
