There seems to be a huge problem with people listing domain names at multiple sites and running multiple auctions at the same time. It's impossible for a site admin to search every marketplace when a name is listed on their auction site. Sure sites have T & C's and rules but those can be broken and the only recourse is to ban the user from the site.
One that caught my eye, just recently was the sale of Legal.Directory. This has been listed on my site, live auction for many days, no reserve and had one bid of $99.00. The name sold and then the seller sent me an email stating they didn't mean to sell the domain for $99.00, thought that was the starting price and not the selling price. Then proceeded to advise me they would not be selling the domain, or transferring it to the winner. Contact the winner and let them know.
At first I thought, well they made a mistake, even told them I understood. But after further review I see it was listed at Flippa, when it was listed at my site and not sure how many other sites. I also noticed they had no problem adding a reserve there. Now I see it listed on the ROTD auction, with a reserve, hmmm. I'm pretty sure it sold for $99.00 before it was added to the ROTD at NameJet. Oh and it has a reserve there too.
On second thought this wasn't a mistake but rather a domain name fishing expedition. I'm not trying to be crude but hopefully the name won't sale at ROTD, what happened to ethics? If it does sale, well hope the sale is honored this time.
