Default Re: Crazy ebay timing

No, the winning bid was a new bid, not a proxy bid. The bid was made 11sec AFTER the auction ended. The bid history confirmed this. The listing was set to end at 15:30 and after it was over it said the auction ended at 15:30:12.
When you submit a listing, it will either start exactly when you hit the button and then have some seconds after the minute - OR you can set a start time in 15min increments, such as 15:30 on the dot. This one was 15:30 on the dot, but actually ran another 12sec to let the other bidder get his bid in to win. That's the issue.
