They're not lying to you, the 'number of seats left' refers to the number of seats available at that price - in the lowest available fare bucket. Not on the plane itself.

What you ran into are called point of sale restrictions. Lower fares are made available to people buying in different markets.

They don't really work on auctions, they charge everyone what they think they'll pay.
