Bidding on ebay...?

Question

ok im so pissed off at ebay. When i bid on anything prior to the 10 minute mark before the item ends i have no problem being the highest bidder. But when its down to the last few minutes every single bid i put in, no matter how high i jump the bid too, i am always somehow outbid by someone else. how the h**l is that like that every d**n time? i know im not going back and forth with someone. what is going on?

Answer 1

people may have a faster connection than you.... youre bidding on popular items with many bidders hungry lol,, not much you can do....

Answer 2

Proxy bidding, someone puts in a bid that's higher they the current bid and the system continues to bid until their bid is no long the highest bid.

example current bid $20 and their proxy bid is $40 until someone bids more then $40 the current bidder will remain the winner.

And for the *** and numbers, ebay now hides the bidding activity from the public. every auction is a private auction.

My question is....Why do you want a N64?

Answer 4

If you think somethings fishy, don't bid on it, could be a coincidence or maybe somebody just trying to get you to pay more/
