Watch those first bid wins auctions! I had one close this afternoon with a bid. Didn't think much about it until this evening when I got an EOA from Yahoo saying it had resubmitted! I went and checked my auctions to make sure, and sure enough...it had resubmitted even though it had closed with a winner! I double checked to make sure that I had not accidentally entered an incorrect quantity or something and I didn't. Have no idea why it happened, but keep an eye on it if you have first bid wins auctions close with a winner as it would be a nightmare to have people bid on auctions for items that you don't have because it already sold!

I never rely on Yahoo notification, I go in a couple of times a day and check to see which items have sold. I've had days when no notification came yet there were sales listed when I went to my closed page.

I do the same, but in this case, I would not have notice that this item, which had already sold had automatically re-listed had it not been for the resubmit notice from Yahoo. Had I not seen this, someone else may have bid on it and I did not have another one. My point being, when it closed with a winner, it should not have automatically resubmitted which it did, and this is the first time it ever happened.
