NFL Auctions bidding

[happyyoungster]

What's with all the cancelled bidders on NFL auctions? I've noticed quite a few bids cancelled over the last few weeks. People creating fake user names? Don't you have to have a credit card on file before bidding??

I've noticed the same but don't know why.

I'm not sure if the new system requires credit cards, but the old system didn't.

I have also noticed not only bids being cancelled, but numerous jerseys being sold multiple times. Ray Rice and Darren Sproles come to mind...

How can you tell when bids have been cancelled? Other than the jersey being reposted days later

One day a jersey you are watching drops over $1,000 will do the trick...

I gotcha. But what ur saying is that their system allows u to place a bid then goes back and sees if ur qualified? If not, then NFL cancels it? What am I missing because that seems odd? Seriously.

No one knows why the bids were removed.

I was not bidding on the item so I didn't look closely at it...

I noticed certain circumstances where an explanation was given. For example, this happened on the recent Dez jersey that sold. Bids were deleted due to an error in the original listing which mentioned a specific game date and they later realized that they couldn't clearly identify the specific date the jersey was used and updated the listing. At that point they deleted the bids to give people a chance to get out of their bid given the new info about the jersey.

I do think there are also these phantom re-listings and double listings that aren't explained by the above.

From what I understand… People are getting Pre-paid Visa/ Mastercards from like Walmart or something with like $10.00 on them or something, creating accounts and the NFL Auctions system is recognizing them as legit credit cards, then the idiots are driving up bids on multiple items. When the first auction ends on an item that they win and the funds aren't there to pay for it, the bids on ALL items that this user bid on are also cancelled along with the bidder id. That is why you will see prices drip mid auction.
The guys at NFL Auctions are GREAT!!! They are the most honest and stand up guys around and do their best to keep things on the up and up… They have nothing at all to gain anyway- All the money goes to charity.
It's idiots screwing around on the site making things appear fishy…
Hope this helps.

Seems like a lot of work to be an a&;hole. But not surprised anymore. Esp when one guy is bidding 5 or 10 bucks at a time. So very obvious.
..seems like the NFL guys are on top of it.
..noticed the Peyton manning game issued is back.def the same jersey.
