An auction should have records of sales with buyers, sellers, and prices. If the

buyer mistakenly paid an excessive amount, the buyer may claim the excess

payment based on the recorded amount of the sale. Like purchasing an item

with a check written for an excessive amount, the buyer is entitled to a refund of

the excess.
