Topic: Screw Ebay....

[Retro Rocket]

I was just bidding on an item on ebay, I had the only bid until the last minute, i left my second bid {3rd bid on the item} as late as i could then bid, my bid was accepted. The auction ended and I lost the auction, there were only 3 bids and it shows my 2 bids as the first 2...?  Mine were the first and 3rd bids, so I should have won the auction, how the hell can that happen, somehow the other bidder has stolen my winning bid..?  How does that happen.....Pissed off....

Not always, there are a few twists..like if you had an equal bid but he bid before you with a snipe program it may give him the win.

he did bid before me, then i bid the winning amount first and it was given to him, can't quite work that out.... The other thing is that it shows that amount {the amount i bid} as the winning bid...

Time lag between your computer and eBay server?

Hey Mick....I looked at the bids again, his auto bid was $3 higher than your final bid.

Sorry

 I may have found a bargain deal anyway on a brand new part so maybe its a good thing....
