				| I was outbid by exactly one dollar. I always list by high bid with odd cents and I was outbid by a dollar by the first ebay bidder of three bidders who submitted a higher bid after Gixen, how can that happen? |  |

				| It's the way ebay works. The winning bidder probably had a much higher maximum bid, but ebay proxy bidding raised it to the amount needed to win. Google for "ebay bid increments" and you will learn about it. |  |
