I've bought a couple of things through ebay over the years but I've never had this situation happen, can someone please explain. When I bid on a item (2 different things today) then go to the "confirm bid" button, it immediately gives me a "you've been outbid" message. It happens everytime and immediately/similtaneously so I know it's not just a coinsidence and some one is bidding at the same time. I guess it's some kind of feature or something and I probably have little chance of winning an auction where someone is "automatically" bidding. ??

WEASELS! ALL YOU SNIPERS ARE WEASELS!!!!!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/alfred.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
I absolutely hate getting sniped. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) Seller gets hosed, and I have too much of a life sit by my computer to bid at the last second. I have seen other auction sites that have a 5 minute rule. Auction doesn't end until no bids have been placed for 5 minutes. If Ebay did that, I would be much more active. |
