By bidding on an item, you are signing a legally binding contract, in which you acknowlege you have adequate funds available to purchase the item. At that time, an e-mail will be sent to the seller, informing them to contact the highest bidder that the item is closed, and what the final bid was. Failure to pay sthe seller upon auction close constitutes fraud, a criminal offense.
All sales are final, unless specifically states by the seller.
The final highest bid is determined by the auction script's determinations of when the final bid was placed. FurBid takes no responsibility for bidders misrepresenting themselves in order to unscruplessly aquire an item. Such practices are usually used by dishonest sellers to drive up the price of their auctions. If a seller is found to have willfully bid on their own auction to drive up the price, and the seller is the highest bidder at item close, the user that bid before the seller is the highest bidder. The seller will be warned about bidding on their own auction.
