That winning bid was submitted before yours, so you don't need to look at yours but at the bid of $4.05 at Dec-13-12 17:53:15 PST and the one of $3.00 at Dec-12-12 19:32:07 PST which was how the auction stood at that time... as a result of those two bids the auction price was $3.25 at the time that the $6.55 was placed... and as a result the auction price rose to $4.30, which was where it stood until you bid of $6.50 was placed and automatically outbid. <br /> <br />As I've told you a few times now, you need to distinguish between the current auction price, and the current maximum bid (which most often ebay hides) in order not to keep confusing yourself with these scenarios.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>sweetylang</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2012 7:54 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: bidding history</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">m***8( 555) US $6.55 <br />Dec-13-12 19:43:58 PST <br /> <br /> sweetylang( 20) US $6.50 <br />Dec-13-12 19:44:25 PST <br /> <br /> a***s( 81) US $4.05 <br />Dec-13-12 17:53:15 PST <br /> <br /> 4***0( 43) US $3.00 <br />Dec-12-12 19:32:07 PST <br /> <br /> u***t( 26) US $2.59 <br />Dec-12-12 10:36:21 PST <br /> <br /> 4***0( 43) US $2.00 <br />Dec-12-12 19:32:02 PST <br /> <br /> 9***u( 144) US $1.50 <br />Dec-10-12 20:04:15 PST <br /> <br /> <br /> Starting Price US $0.99 <br />Can you explain by what you see in this bidding history, why the final winning bid listed at $6.55?
