It is obviously a widespread problem on Ebay, probably with the roots in the \"Extended Bidding\" feature recently introduced. They claim that their technical people are working on the problem, but in the meantime, we all lose out, Ebay included. <br />I even suggested that when the problem arises, the sale should be cancelled and the item relisted.
