I have had this happen to me several times, am I doing something wrong?
When bidding on an item on ebay today, I pressed the BID NOW button at the top of the item page and entered the next increment shown. Pressed the confirm button, and got the YOU HAVE BEEN OUTBID. So, I entered the next increment shown which was , $24.00. Hit the confirm button was shown, YOU ARE THE CURRENT HIGH BIDDER, but, high bid $24.00, maximum bid $24000.00 WHAT?!!!!how did that happen?
As you can imagine, I won the item easily, but for much more than the record is worth. Trouble is how do you tell the seller, who is delighted with the sale price of course, that it was a mistake?
In fact I normally never bid on ebay now, because of this problem, and I always use a sniper.
Has anyone else had this experiance? Why does it happen?
