I have sold several items on AH without any issues and recently tried to buy an offhand item called "Spherical Malice" which lists for 3B (bid) and 7B (buyout). I went ahead and choose buyout and after I was prompted to confirm the buyout, nothing happened. My Beta bucks remained the same and when I looked at the completed transaction log, it indicated that I was outbid. When I search for the item, it was still showing up on the list. Next, instead of buying it outright for 7B, I made an incremental bid of 3.15B and confirmed it as well. Same as the buyout, I was informed I was outbid and my money remained the same. I tried another buyout of the item since it was still showing after I closed the AH window and opened it again to the same issue. My guess is that the item was already been sold but somehow the item was not removed properly in the database.
