First of all remove hes name from the forum as it might result in a ban for you.
Secondly open an in-game ticket and wait untill you can talk to a GM who can manually inviestigate the activity on he’s account, posting time of auctions and time before he bought it etc.

This is quite a common thing people use to buy things under a certain price and put them up again at a higher price hoping to “corner a market” and make a profit. Its been going on so long it almost feels like a feature.
There are addons that can look like bots, I’m not saying that’s the case here but it’s something to consider.

Search by vendor price is implemented in many Auction House addons, with the help of those one could buy things lightning fast without any automation.
Unlikely that there are so many people waiting for hours on end to buy things that go up, most likely still automated. Possible, but unlikely.
Firemaw is a megaserver, I bet you can just hit refresh and get a new potion of cheap Netherweave Cloth every minute.
Well yeah for OP’s example sure, but on Mirage for example. If you sell any crafting mats for like 30% less than cheapest price, it gets instantly bought. You could be selling gold bars at any time of day and it’ll be bought faster than you can cancel the auction. Thats the unlikely part. I’m not arguing that theres probably people constantly refreshing to buy 1 mat, it just seems more likely its automated and just refreshes between several mats and auto-buys things if the price is low enough.
You can set up addons like TSM to automatically “catch” all new auctions that meet certain conditions (like being a certain % bellow “market value”) and if you set them up well enough you can just spam click “buyout” and it will buy anything that gets listed. On bigger servers you’ll probably have 10 or more players that do that constantly. Of course some of them could be and probably are bots but a lot of the time it’s just AH goblins doing their thing.
Ah, that makes sense now. Still odd that something like this would be allowed…
as i wrote, i already ingame repoted him in different moment.
nothing happened
Why would anyone sell cloth at a loss? 2.6g a stack you are making a net loss of 40s on. Just make heavy weavebandages and sell those for 6g a stack and you get 80s more than if you sell it on AH (not taking in the AH cut). (40 netherweave to make 20 heavy bandages)

Report it as cheating and submint bug,tweet at warcraftdevs and Ion .
I use auctionator and automatically generate loads of one-item auctions from a stack.
Pretty sure this is allowed.
