ebay question

[cowboygames]

Hope somebody can answer this. If I'm the high bidder on an item and the bid increments are $10, how do I lose theauction by less han that?

Say the lowest bid is $500, but you have a max bid $600, only the $500 will be showing. Next bidder doesn't know you have a max bid of $600 and he bids $601,  That will make him the highest bidder He will win the auction unless you up your bid.

That is true, but he should never really see his "highest bid" of $600 because the autobid would be really fast and jump right to the $601 of the other person. Now if he had $600 sitting there for a while, and then someone got it for $601 at the last minute, then something is not right. We need more details how the bidding went.

It was that 5X Pay WOF glass. I can post the link after a bit if necessary

Just curious as to the time-line of the bids. Specifically, at what point did you have the high bid, and for how long?

Honestly, it exceeded my limit at around  $400, but it looked pretty good that the winner was gonna get it at any price so I mighta ran it up just a bit. My bad:( I woulda still been ok if I'd got it at six though, so I'm not a complete asshole

I watched the auction on and off on that and other related.  (5x and top box for 250 ship).   All I would like to say is I hope the Buyer is happy when they receive their items.   Quite sure some "jitter" will turn up from that stuff. B.
