Can you post me here the screenshot with the time of Shinycelebi's first offer and the screenshot of the time of your message, where you post the trade with Astro?

Friday 4:56PM GMT 0. Auction lasts for 2 days=48 hours and as a result, auction normally ends in 4:56PM GMT 0. What time did you end the auction?

@DarthGuindillit You have no right to cancel your offer, do not spread lies and misleads about the rules, cause next time you will receive a punishment. @ExoJhay222 Instead of commenting here you could just click the report function and Staff would came here to handle it. @Gypsie I am waiting you to update this thread and inform me who is the winner, as long as, posting all evidence needed. Punishment will be issued in any other case. Thanks for your attention. Kind regards, Logan

You have the right to bump your thread every 24hours. Such action before the said time limit will be sanctioned in the future. Kind regards, Logan

Cannot claim any offer. He can write : All offers below Xmillions are rejected etc.

BO and CO - Best Offer and Current Offer. Both indicate what the current highest offer is on an auction. I think it is pretty clear that BO and CO can be used only regarding auctions. We do not allow eternal auctions, like the threads author wants to do. What can be done, is just let the Pokemon here receiving bids and accept the best/most satisfying. Claiming CO to gain more money is an auction and there is no eternal auction in pro. We moderate trades so much, because users report and message Trade Moderators so much. We also moderate trades so much, because of the many infractions and wrong handlings we see every day and for years, even if you think that our player base knows how to handle trades themselves. Thats a totally wrong impression and I wish it was like this. Some people will yell " Oh Tmods are not doing anything about this trade", others(like you) will yell "Oh Tmods are policing every trade", but Tmods will keep doing their job as they are supposed to do. Feedback is welcomed, but it is TMod's decision on how to handle a case. Auction House is in Staff's future plans and I hope to have it soon. Users that aim to fight here or insult each other, ignoring Staff's warnings, will be punished since next offense. This is Trade zone and the rules will be enforced. Thanks for understanding. Kind regards, Logan

Welcome and enjoy

Hello kdao. Could you please tell me your friend's username or future username? What is the amount of money we talk about and what is yout relation with the user? Looking forward to your reply. Kind regards, Logan

You can bump your thread every 24 hours after the last message only. This is a warning.

"-I retain the right not to sell my poke if I am not satisfied with the final price. " The auction is cancelled and the thread will be locked. Kind regards, Logan -Locked-

Initially the auctioneer didn't have proper rules for his auction, although after Squad redirected him to Staff guide, he fixed it. It was 23 minutes after the original thread time and without any active offer. "If i am not satisfied with the highest offer, i can cancel the auction at any time. " At any time, means at any time, nothing punishable. Kind regards, Logan -Locked-

Please post an evidence of trade's completion, when it happens.

Soumik made a mistake and didn't see the Pokemon is on gold. Please, restart your auction with : Starting offer/date, ending point.

Auctioneer will be punished accordingly for violation of our Trade Rules regarding Auctions. Apologies. Kind regards, Logan -Locked-

Auctions in real life have their own rules as well. The means change, relying on what auction tools they have, but they always have counteweights to protect both buyers, sellers, owners. For example, as Qeight said, last calls could be a thing, but under circumstances it could lead to a really long auction in PRO. Again as Qeight said, the reserve price could be another, that I am totally agreed with, but it can't really happen without an auction house. Starting offer is the initiative offer for an auciton, some sellers might be satisfied with that and some others no. You can't force them sell their belonging for that price, it is a price to initiate an auction, the reserve price should be the minimum price that sellers should be forced and satisfied to sell their Pokemon, but this price would never been known to bidders, only owner and Staff and finally, the instant price is the desired price. People complaining led Staff to find a counterweight, no user decided the rule. The counter argument for anything you say, is that you always have the right to avoid such auctions and I find it really reasonable if you do. I am not saying it is satisfying if you won an auction and the seller decides to cancel it, but since you participated there, you agreed in those terms. In the past, Staff and even myself, stopped cancelling an auction for unreasonable cause, even if it was mentioned in their Auction Rules and I remember clearly that you were the winner in one of them. There are other Auctions though, that I found the cancellation reasonable. When an auction lasts for 24 hours and everyone bids in 10 last minutes, do not expect seller to be satisfied. Would it be better if you set Location too(as in normal trades), other than only price in the auctions and cancel that rule? Did you ever think why there is Location requirement in normal trades? We don't want scarred sellers, after all, it is their belonging being sold, something they bought, they hunt. I am considering this thread as official feedback and you can consider my answers as official replies. I am not sure what you mean that I am the only one to take time to disagree with you. Would it be better if I just ignored your thread? Or am I forced to agree with you or anyone? The argument of sniping is pretty reasonable, unless you can find me a good reason that a Pokemon being auctioned for 24 hours receives offers only for a few minutes. There might be other counterweights, that I am trying to think of, but to make it clear, this rule will stay there until Staff finds a better counterweight to eliminate risk from sellers.

Auctioneer will be punished for violating Trade Rules and Auction rules.

I am sorry about any inconvinience you faced because of that rule. Indeed, the auctioneers reserve the right to cancel their auction, if they mentioned that in their auction rules, before the auction starts. With that way, sellers are protected by last minute "sniping" and they feel safe. Buyers are not forced to participate in an auction with such rule, but if they do, they have to accept all rules the auctioneer set. With my experience, cancelling an auction is not really common. Always and without exception, when an auction is not properly handled by both auctioneer and bidders, it will result to at least one user being disappointed. Bidder or Auctioneer, we do not want disappointed users, but we cannot avoid it without an Auction House, a long-term solution, that would make Trade Environment better,more reliable and trustworthy, our users happier and our job easier. Our Developers plan to implement it in the future and until then Staff Members try to revise and revamp the Rules once per while, in order to achieve the maximum possible reliability for Auctions, protect the sellers so we have an active Auction environment and also, protect bidders(Trade Rule 13,14). Cancelling this rule without another counterweight is not under consideration neither will be. Although, if we find another possible solution as counterweight to last minute "sniping", we could have a change. Yes, it actually exists and also, I wouldn't compare real life with any Game. Users cannot request a rule to change. We are opened in feedback and suggestions, but it doesn't mean we are forced neither can be manipulated to change a rule. Also, Staff is not afraid to face any complaints. There are valid and invalid complaints and we answer them accordingly. The rule was implemented, because of lots complaints regarding last minute sniping. A lot of users still do it. As sellers have to accept last minute offers, the same way buyers have to accept the specific auction rule, if written. Kind regards, Logan

@Baumhaus62 Please post here the screenshots of the trades in the future, so everything is clear. When someone buys a Pokemon insta, should pay the whole amount of money, according to the auction rules. Insta price of 4m in your auction includes pokedollars and coin capsules. If someone meets your expectation with anything else , like Pokemon, please mention it here and post the image of the trade. This is a warning. Kind regards, Logan

Shiny Pokemon are to be sold in Shiny and Special Pokemon. Please be careful in the future. Wish good sale for you. Kind regards, Logan

Auction should end 17:29 GMT indeed. But I don't see any offer between 1kevin77 offer and the ending time. In the future be careful, because this can lead to a punishment, but regarding this auction, the rightful owner got the Pokemon. Kind regards, Logan -Locked-

When does the auction end? You cannot make an auction with no ending point. Please, fix your rules and let me know. This is a warning. Kind regards, Logan

When you start an auction, the rules are same for everyone. Negotiating insta in Pm's without announcing it in public is not allowed and will be punished in this case. Rule #14 will not be enforced, since draculhao's offer was the biggest at the time. Please read the following guide : https://www.pokemonrevolution.net/forum/topic/119691-url Kind regards, Logan -Locked-
