I know some auction houses list names of people who didnt pay though, i guess theres a court option as well but probably rarely used.

I would think they would have too or that would be a falsehood and deceptive, would it not?

As far as the underbidder goes, that happened to me with an E-Bay purchase. I was outbid only to be told later the top bidder retracted his bid and now I was the top bidder.
I seen no place where it was an option if I still wanted the card, only that I was the top bidder and if I no longer wanted it, (had moved on etc), my only option was to retract my own bid.

I purchased it as I did still want it but I always wondered about that if I no longer did?

Does anyone know the answer to this?

Is it a recorded mark/flag against you if you had moved on/spent your money elsewhere when you were originally outbid?
