I participated in the auction for the shieldvpn.com domain name on Dynadot today.
To pass the "bidder 12" proxy bid, I made bids in increments of $100 each. I finally gave $1011.11 and the system accepted it as the highest bid, after which the auction was over on my side.
However, the information e-mail I received said "You placed the second highest bid in the Expired Domain Auction for shieldvpn.com", then I reviewed the situation again and it seemed that there was no bidder after me on my screen.
I immediately went to live chat to inquire about the situation and was told that someone had bid $1036.11 right after me and that's why I lost.
If the last bid was $1036.11, why wasn't it showing up on my page?
Namebio records proving that the closing price is $1011, which was my last offer (https://namebio.com/shieldvpn.com)
Oddly enough, after the auction ended, "bidder 12"'s proxy bids after $550 just disappeared! And there was no outbid warning mail for the alleged last-minute bid. If a bid was placed after me (as there was no such bid in the history), the auction should have been extended by another 5 minutes. It did not.
The live chat representative could not answer these questions and tried to deflect the subject.
THIS IS SHEER FRAUD !!!
