Posted: Thu Jun 10, 2010 12:58 pm Post subject: MAXIMUM BID AND OTHER PROBLEMS... |
|
|
Hello everyone,
I'm new here and I just tried it ! Seems to work even tough I lost the auction. Still don't know how because the winning auction was made, if I read correctly, 2 hours BEFORE mine (?)... Did anybody knows how it's possible ?? Is not the first time that I see that.
I have an other question, as you may have understood I was just before the last auction but my bid was the Maximum price I put on Gixen (30,00)... Strange because the guy just before put only 24,00... Did anybody can help me ? Thanks a lot in advance !
P.S. : See my auction datas below.
WINNER : 31,00 GBP 10-june-10 4:58:09 PM ------> WTF ???
ME : 30,00 GBP 10-june-10 7:09:02 PM
3rd : 24,00 GBP 10-june-10 7:08:02 PM |

1. Yes, it's possible. eBay accepts bid during the whole listing time, not just at last seconds. Then the highest bidder wins, not the latest.
So it's normal if someone placed a bid long time before you so that bidder won the item.
You have to bid higher to win it.
2. This is normal. If you put 30.00 as your snipe, that's what you see in the history because someone else bid higher. The Winner might've bid even higher than 31.00, but eBay shows the previous lower bid (yours) plus increment (1.00 in this price range) so the winner took it for 30+1=31.00
All other bids (24.00 and lower) won't matter in this case. |

Thanks for your answer ! Just one thing, let's imagine that I was the winner, and the second was at 24.00, so how many Gixen will put if my maximum is 30.00 ? 24.50 ? Is the thing I don't know... Gixen bids are made 50 cents by 50 cents ? Anyone know ?
Thanks again ! |

Gixen will put 30.00, but at the end you will win it at 24.50. That's how proxy bidding works on eBay. |
