I placed a bid on an item.  I was the only bidder.  I watched the time expire to the end.  I receive an email from ebay (almost instantly) indicating that I had been outbid by $5.00.

How is this possible if I was the sole bidder?

Is there a secret way of bibbing that does not show up on the count down site?

I am aware there is the max bid facility but I was the only bidder!

Question - How quickly does the up load and indicate bidders?

I have lost faith with ebay!!!!!
