I remember seeing a topic on this a long time ago, but for the life of me I cannot find it.

On the auction pages, it shows the bid being canceled for all the auctions, but I only got two e-mails of being "outbid by NOBODY" (which I assume means Seller Canceled This Bid). The seller does not mention not accepting deputy bids, but they won't ship internationally, so I can't use my own Y!J account.
I'm confused because I only got two e-mails from Rinkya declaring I'd been "outbid", whereas I bid on four auctions and ALL bids seem to have been rejected.
Am I correct in my interpretation of events?
According to Rinkya's site (http://www.rinkya.com/faq_url.php#outbidnobody) it doesn't mean what I think it does. Yet their explanations do not fit my situation...

A lot of times what happens is that the auction has a reserve minium that has not been reached hence no one won.

But like on eBay, reserve price auctions have that noted in the information at the top. At least they used to before YJ changed their page layout. It used to be some text in red ...JWR wrote:A lot of times what happens is that the auction has a reserve minium that has not been reached hence no one won.
I don't see anything on those listings that shows that there was a reserve price, unless I'm missing something
EDIT: Just noticed also that the seller does have positive feedback in recent history from Rinkya, so it seems unlikely that it's something with them.
