A Shambles NOT an Auction
On my first time using Artsy I was badly let down as I had bidded on a unique piece of artwork by Banksy and was the highest bidder and then the auction ended, so I thought but in tact the auction site had failed and ended the auction early but the auction was twinned with an American site that had not finished early and continued to take bids and my bid was beaten but I was already under the impression I had won the auction and closed down the site to pay later, so on my return I was somewhat shocked that I had not won the item even though on the Artsy website I was still showing as the highest bidder but could not see where to pay. I checked my email at this point and an email from artsy advised that my bid had been beaten due to site malfunction. I emailed the customer service team but did not come up with any solution apart from they will look around for another piece similar for me but came back with no other option so was left without the item I thought I had won and was livid as is quite difficult to get a piece of unique Banksy for the price it went for which was within my bidding budget, so thanks Artsy for ruining my first auction with you and stopping me from owning the piece of Banksy I had been able to win.
