Flippa Auctions

I put a domain up on flippa and only have a $1 bid and it's been 24 hours. Problem is, I already have 38 views and only 1 watching the auction out of all those views, and it was the guy who bid $1. I never used flippa before, but is this a bad sign??

Thanks for the info! I just got a bid for $50. Things are starting to look up with 13 days to go! I just want enough to cover my costs of the domain and the featured flippa listing.

I am slightly concerned because I checked paypal as a form of payment along with escrow.com. This was before I read that Flippa is full of scammers, and they can cheat you with paypal. Now Flippa wont let me remove the paypal payment option! What can I do to help avoid being scammed??
