I was browsing through auctions for pets, and I see one for an Iluvu. I look, and I see 400,000 in first glance. I click bid. I find out later for it to be 4,000,000. That is totally unethical. I demand that rules be changed to where you can delete your bidding, because I will be losing 4mil over an unwanted Creatu. I suggest that be changed. Because that's pretty unfortunate. :(

 I support. This hasn't happened to me but I think that it would be nice to have.

Just pay closer attention to the price =) 

I highly doubt Pat would add the ability to delete bids, #1 because you can't retract a bid in a real auction =P and #2 There is a lot of potential for abuse of that feature.

I agree with 14bm reasoning so no support. I do however support Twili's suggestion. I've been having to highlight the final three 0's just so I can see if there's two or three more 0's before it. @_@ The computer's killing my eyesight. xD

Oh heck yes, commas in prices everywhere on this site would be fantastic.

I don't support this idea. :/  People could just make a bid on a silver Ahea and pay 6 mil.  That is way over how much silver Aheas are worth.  This keeps people from bidding on it because it is over priced, and then right before the auction ends they delete their bid and make it something low.  So they end up getting a pet for a cheap price and kept people from bidding on it so they wouldn't have a hard time getting the pet.

But I support the comma thing. :D 




Don't read my sig. I said, don't read my sig. You're still reading it, aren't you? .......... STOP READING IT. D:<

No support, for the the reason Saryapink has explained. This is the most common way of auction scam.
Just look better when you bid, that's all. It can happen in the ranches too, that you didn't pay attention and clicked Buy. Then you go, that "OMG, take the pet back, I got an overpriced pet I didn't want"?.

By the way, if it was an "unwanted" creatu, why did you bid on the first place?

I didn't know anyone even did that, Sarya :o I would hate if that happened to me! :c *innocent to the world of scam*

But, yeah. No scam, but commas are a must. I have a laggy computer/track pad, so my method is much harder to do than all you mouse users. xD
