Bid on an item twice in the last 25 seconds & both times it didn't register. Anyone else had this?

I have tried to find the right dining set for several months ( need it so I can relist my house for sale). Today I waited , watching the perfect set that I placed a bid on yesterday & put my One Click Bid in during the last 25 seconds. I received a mesage from eBay saying the amount had to be higher that the current bid, which it was by $120! I bid again, & again the bid didn't register. The winning bidder won the item on $50 less than the bid I repeatedly tried to lodge. I reported it to eBay & all they said was that my last registerred bid was yesterday  & I must've enterred the wrong amount. I have replied again telling them again that I bid twice with plenty of time & it is either a glitch in eBays system or buyers are still using some sort of programs to knock others out.

 

This has happened to me a few times & I fobbed it off but this time I'm p'd. Has anyone else had this happen? Both the buyer & seller lose out when this happens. In this case the seller coulld have got another 30% on their item!

stawks, you know, if you had a working Tokyo Fire Siren Co Ltd hand crank fire siren you could have used it when you burnt the nachos.

if you really want an item the best way is to put your absolute maximum bid in with a reputable sniper. I use auctionsniper, you generally get a few free bids when you start and the fees are negligable and only payable if you win the auction.

Auction sniper is briliant, I put a 3 second lead, worth it's weight in gold.
