Re: Crazy ebay timing
Verne it is very simple to get beat by a bid placed on an earlier date. The bidder put a maximum bid in a few days ago and you got beat by that max.
Even though people have a bid you never know what there maximum bid is. Always good to bid at your max at what you are willing to pay for the item at your highest price. Happens all the time.

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. Verne [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]
