So I know the whole insta buy thing in auction house, I already maxed it by 5 for today BUT the glitch happens when i try to bid normally.

It's saying in can't buy it but I'm tryna bid on it :/
Only happens to some mons, but sometimes it works I can bid, then half of the time I can't coz its saying I maxed up the insta buy but I'm only bidding on it.

Edit: perhaps remove the insta buy when someone starts bidding on it like the auction sites? XD

Are you bidding an amount on an auction which is higher than the set instant price? That's the same as pressing the "Buy (instantly)" button, and that can only be done 5-times a day.

And I don't understand why the instant purchase should be removed when there's one bid? The price is the desired goal by the person who set up the auction. Why should it be removed when someone bids on it.

The thing tells me I'm over bidding the insta price when the insta price is 1pd. Kinda a bummer there '-')

The reason was explained in the minor updates thread:

QuoteIn order to prevent abuse of this new feature, you can only instant-purchase up to 5 Pokémon per day. This is to prevent mass-moving Pokémon from one account to another by bypassing the GTS 1:1 Pokémon trade rule.

Also remember that this feature is new and exciting today. But in the future, when it becomes "old news", you probably won't even attempt to buy this many Pokemon from the auction house per day (at least not via instant purchase) and won't notice this limitation any longer.
