100k lost just now...
Tue Jun 08, 2004 8:58 pm
I was looking for a faerie petpet paint brush on the auctions, and found one and bid 100k for it. I just came back to neopets and saw that 100k was missing from my account, and I didn't have the item. I clicked "My bids" and it said "You have not bid on any auctions yet". I went to the userlookup of the one that had the PB and clicked on his auctons and I saw my bid was there!!! 
I have no idea what happened, is it a bug, and has that happened to any one here? :?

thats how it started for me when i ended up with 3 lots of money and the item.
It does take your np's of you now and holds them till the auction is over. If you loose you still get them back.

It might just be a glitch to do with th auctions since they were revamped. I would wait for the end of the auction before you do anything drastic. The money probably went because of this Scrow business, put aside in case you win the suction. Don't panic! Wait it out and see what happens!

It should return the neopoints soon, or give you the item, maybe they're still processing the auction.

I really hope so, but it's not that much NP, I can work a little harder to get that back...

Yeah the auctions have been acting very strange since they 'improved' them.
If your bid is still on the list, then you'll get your money back. (unless you win)

Be careful with auctions guys.

Apparently there's a glitch where you can add an auction an infinite amount of times or something, and this is leading to people putting baby p/bs up for 100k. If you lookup "grey paint brush", you'll see that person has about 10 in auctions. Half the times these auctions fail taking the neopoints, but giving no items, and they're freezing people who do recieve the items. :-/

Crazy mess! I wish they would announce things like this in the news and then get to work on it right away. When they don't tell people it is happening, it just lets the situation get worse and worse. And I feel so bad for those people who don't know it's a glitch and are going to lose neopoints or get frozen
