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!
Solved! Go to Solution.

so, if a bidder puts their high bid on the original listing page and then clicks one-click-bid they need to re-enter their bid amount on the one-click pop-up box or else it will only bid to the next increment?
Perhaps in the rush of bidding in the last 25 seconds of an auction this is what has happened to the OP.
I will put this to the test on an item I am bidding on that ends just before 9pm tonight. 5 stars to anyone who can search eBay and find out what item I will be bidding on.

Okay, here's what I found. The item I was bidding on was at $24.50 (almost identical to the OP's item), I put $150.05 in to the bid box and clicked one-click bid and then took a screen shot of the pop up that appeared on my screen. Here it is:
So it seems that this is a clumsy way to bid in the last minute of an auction as it would be very easy to put a high figure in the bid box and then click one-click bid and then, when the pop up appears, hit the "1 Click Bid" blue button without even looking at the amount bid.
