If you find the correct auction it tells you BEFORE you place a bid.

Yes, but I have a copy of the official "congratulations" graphic on my hard drive right now. It contains the instructions to use Buy it Now. What stops me from making a fake auction and putting that picture in? Obviously eBay would ban me and the buyer wouldn't have to pay, but it would be a hassle and disappointment for the buyer. If eBay has a secret weapon against this, I can't figure out what it is.

The fatal flaw is that it's necessary to confirm the buy to win. That should be easy to fix.

The clues have been much more reasonable since the lens fiasco, though.
