Proxibid is an online hoster/enabler for auction houses. They are very biased towards these houses which pay them fees. The sellers have almost no repercussions when screwing over the buyer and there is no rating system so they keep doing it over and over. I have purchased from a dozen different auction houses that sell there and nearly every one is scamming. Examples of what I encountered:

-Fake autographs and collectibles presented as the real thing
-Incorrect condition descriptions to the extreme
-Overcharging for shipping without disclosure of charges beforehand. Example - 3 ounces - $10, 2 lbs - $25.
-Proxibid allows the sellers access to see max bid amounts and allows sellers (which T&C disclosure) to bid on their own items as well as have their employees bid in order to max out buyer's reserve.
-Contacting proxibid (an online company) results in them sending you an email asking you to call at which point they refuse to do anything and simply update their user agreement to say it's ok.

These guys need to be put out of business.
