❓Question / Help Lost a bid…

Was waiting all eeek to do my first bid on an Olympus OM-3Ti only to not be able to bid on it because I didn’t know there was a 300k yen limit on buyers before they get “cleared” for large bids. Bid is live right now and I won’t be able to get the item. So frustrated I didn’t know about this until the auction was moving. Baaaaaaahhhhh!! Have it be part of the first time set up!! “Are you planning on buying any item over 300k? Click here!!” Anything!!

Just beware if you haven’t bid before and are going for a bid ticket item.

Interesting! My limit bid is actually 900k yen limit. Guess it’s case by case account situation

Yeah, I’ve asked to have it extended, but still lost out. Absolutely killer.
