I recently won an auction on Catawiki after spending a lot of time researching the item and bidding carefully. To my surprise, the seller cancelled the order afterwards, simply because they were unhappy with the final price being “too low.” What baffles me is that Catawiki allowed this without offering the buyer any protection or compensation. If the roles were reversed and I had bid too high, the seller would have gladly accepted, yet now even to I won fairly I'm left empty handed. An auction should mean that both parties honor the outcome, otherwise the entire process loses credibility. Unfortunately, Catawiki seems to favor sellers in these cases, leaving buyers with wasted time and frustration. I cannot recommend Catawiki to anyone who expects a fair and reliable auction experience
