Be careful about backing your bid on ebay. Even if you win at your first bid they will still up your bid.
Was winning at an item at $399 (our max bid – exposed) pushed up by someone else bidding $395. Just to make sure we had a chance at winning it, we put a backing bid at over $400. No one else bid on the item. When the completed auction page refreshed all of a sudden we won at $400.
Called in and talked to an agent and there is apparently a mystery invisible buyer who also bid $399 after I did (but he wouldn’t confirm the timestamp, that would be a privacy violation when I can quote you the amount and timestamp of every bid on the item right there on the bid history page) which justifies raising our winning bid to $400.
Agent wont pass me to a supervisor. Yes I posted to ebay’s facebook page (I don’t have twitter).Anyone wants to see the bid history, it is for the Moonstone Fledge.
Hey at least give me the story that because I was willing to bid more than $400, I needed to pay a full bid increment above the next highest bidder or something. Seems strange to me. What if it was in the much higher bid ranges and I only had the bid by $1 and now you are going to up me by the rest of the bid increment? I had a winning bid at $399. Just because I backed it, it should not go higher in the absence of other bidders.
