I have a seller that a buy quite a few items from in the UK. Recently I noticed that someone has placed a 'Best Offer' as a bid. How does this work. There is a best offer available when the auction starts but it disappears after the first bid. Does it just disappear for me? How can someone else place a best offer after a bid has already been made and the best offer is no longer visible? Also, if the best offer has been accepted, as it's showing as a bid, why doesn't the auction end? The person making the best offer has lost to me on several recent auctions so I'm wondering if they are trying to get the lot to end early.
