Wed, January 11, 2006 - 6:32 AMWonderful news, Nina. Did they close? I went to the site and I couldn't see any bids. I was about to give up on the site and just let mine close naturally so I'd like to know.

Re: Good News!
Wed, January 11, 2006 - 9:18 AMGuess what?
The bidder must have retracted the bids.
I was very surprised this morning to see the bids gone.
:(
I will contact the owner about this sometime today, I guess. -

Re: Good News!
Wed, January 11, 2006 - 10:11 AMI am sorry to hear that, Nina. :( I heard on another board that there is apparently a scammer on ABU placing false bids as well.
What kind of people do that sort of thing?? Artists have it rough enough as it is.
Does that site say what their policy is on bid retraction?

sorry to hear about that.
abu has a string of about 25 malicious bids, all from a "nigerian" scammer. two of mine got hit with BINs and they sent me the usual email, but conni had already caught it and they blocked the guy. -

Re: Good News!
Wed, January 11, 2006 - 2:59 PMSorry to hear about the abu situation.
:(
The user who retracted his bids has been suspended.
The owner of 123buy.com said that in 2 or 4 weeks he is starting a new auction site with better security in place, etc., etc.

Wed, January 11, 2006 - 4:01 PMSo is this one defunct? I think I will close the auctions for original paintings so I can list them elsewhere.

Laura,
Why don't you go to the forum at 123buy and find my post at Seller Central and question the owner more about this?

Re: Good News!
Wed, January 11, 2006 - 4:50 PMI just have too many groups & venues going on right now to juggle or spend time on it. I closed the original paintings (I probably could have revised for prints but I didn't think of it). I left two prints running. If it picks up, please let me know and I'll list more on it.
Laura
