Discounted/auction travel website problem

I felt an obligation to pass this one on...

I read on the "Bestfares" website about an auction company that was offering travel packages for bidding starting as low as $9. The sight is WWW.onsale.com. I checked it out, and participated in some of the auctions. I even bought some items. But I was shocked when one of the items I won at a very low price was "cancelled". Apparently, after they hold an online auction (which keeps you involved from 1 hour up to 1 day), declare winners, and charge credit cards, they can simply declare that "they don't have the item to sell", they're "sorry for the inconvenience", and that they'll "give you a full refund in 3 to 4 days".

So, if they don't like the deal they just committed to, they can change their mind.

Don't waste your time.
