Its not bout the price, its worth more imo... Its only about the way the guy is bidding......

The seller should have had a 10 /15 $ bid increase to stop this stupid time wasting bids IMO

I don't understand Ebay. But, why does e***t keep bidding against himself?

Peter

Is he bidding against himself?

I read it as e***t bidding once low then a****n sticking in their bid high, and then e****t bidding two dollars at a time trying to work out how high a***n had bid. Each time he bids ebay proxy bidding means he is outbid. Think he got fed up at £530 which is where a***n wins the auction.

Edit: actually looking at it I cant work it out either - crazy!

Well, that explains it - if it is ET bidding how would an extra terrestrial know anything about eBay bidding tactics ... or Northern Soul for that matter

Here's a similar example

It says 24 bids but there are actually only 4 bidders!

I don't know if this is the case or not; the bidder may have been trying to scare/ bluff other potential bidders away by creating a "wow , that's a lot of bids" scenario. -m

just fyi, the seller has no control over the bid increments. as the bid amounts get higher, the bid increments get higher -- there is a chart on ebay showing what increments correspond to what bid amounts.

Could it be there is a reserve price which was not met by each of e***t's bids up to the point where the other bidder joins in? I'm no ebay expert but if a reserve hasn't been met aren't you notified you have been outbid - whereby the next 'higher bid' is only the next standard incriment higher and so on until the reserve is met?
