Also,others says that it is the bidders fault but we can stop these arguments with this pop up box
Now recently,People has been posting forums about canceling your bids at auction house if you have overpaid or changed your mind.Say like there's a 99 pokedollars pichu and you bid 1000 with that extra zero by accident say,if your were on mobile.Extra money wasted
Now here's a way to prevent that.I say a pop up box should appear when you bid.It will say,"Are you sure?" And the money you bid in the box,below "are you sure".Options will be "yes" or "no".Now this pop up box can mess up snipers but here is a way to turn it off.You go to settings and go to misc.settings.Right after alarm clock (or gameplay if you don't have the alarm clock) should be the pop up box for auction house.Options there will be "on" or "off".I also think a another place for it to be turned off is in the auction house,as soon as you go to the auction house,or during the auctions them self.
Now what do y'all think about this idea?If I am missing something,please do tell me!
Now for the people who said,"This will mess up snipers ooooo"Please read this again before posting,thank you

i.e. when there's a high value pokemon up (ditto, shiny mew, etc), and people are trying to get it in the last few seconds, it's always the person with the highest bid at the last second that wins
And sniping is a fun, if annoying part of the auction process.
---
For someone with slower internet this popup box could take more than 5 seconds to load, and when they are trying to win an auction, those last 10 seconds are essential for deciding what to bid, and clicking to get your bid through at the last moment with a slow internet's sending time

simply check your bid, before you press enter. This notification makes bidding a lot slower for a lot of people and a lot more annoing. if you add an extra zero well, too bad, you might have to check again.
apart from that this extra confirmation wouldn´t change a thing, if you hit the zero too often you might hit enter too often too and there you go, you bid too much again while still annoinng others

But what about snipers?
They just press enter after entering the amount fast when 2 or 3 seconds are left

And if you don't agree, Humbloom said it should be optional. So if you're prone/paranoid about accidentally adding an extra zero, you can enable it while as those annoying snipers

And, about snipers, honestly?? we all know that sniping is bad. With this, snipers will be way less common and auctions will actually be auctions.

Sniping is probably one of the only ways for users to have a chance to win something instead of bidding waiting for the auction to end. I feel like sniping can be useful for new users as well as older users. I myself snipe now and again if it's a Pokémon I really like. However, I can see how this option could benefit users. So, I will support only if you can disable it, like @Jellypuff said.

I believe there's a way to solve that with an already existing feature.
It'd only be common sense if this feature is included in 'safe mode', found in Settings > Misc. Settings. There was already a way to turn this off in the original suggestion;
But it's unnecessary as we already have Safe Mode as an option.

This is just really useful. If you don't want it, just disable it. It helps people who want to confirm their bids, and it also allows for toggle off fir people who don't want it.
I don't see a reason not to add this
