 |  
				| Just curious to know if there is a way to find out if a gixen bidder was bidding against me and when did they put the bid in? |  |

				| I can't publish this kind of info - neither bidding users nor eBay would like that. |  |

				| Yes, I agree, this not only isn't possible now. It's never going to happen. _________________

				| I may have been unclear and probably was.  What I'd like to know is if it was a gixen bidder that outsniped me, was the bid put in before mine...I don't care who the bidder was, it was just a question of timing. |  |

				| The timings of bids once placed are shown on Ebay in the bid history. 
 I generally find that when I am up against automated bidders it is better to be slightly earlier than the average, because then the bid increment rule works in favour rather than against you. This is why I have set my default offset to be 8 seconds.
