Fed up with last second bids

[dercoggins]

I getting outbid 4 seconds before the end of an auction, when there has been no other prior bids. These bids are made by anonymous bidders, obviously professionals as they have 30 or so going at the same time. It's no fun any more - eBay must be losing buyers in droves - it's just becoming a commercial marketplace. There needs to be some changes made somehow - of course you can't contact anyone in eBay to complain directly. David

HaHa.....Yes I console myself by knowing that I made them pay a decent price and more than if I didn't place a bid

Gotta burst your bubble.

You did not make a bidder pay anymore than they chose to.

Now go back & look at the date of the post you replied to.

are the sellers from china? steer clear of auctions from China or people who hide the id of bidders the reason they do is to boost there feedback and they don't want to sell the item too cheap so they just have a army of sub accounts who they buy there own items to make there stores look bigger then they get feedback and don't have send you the item.
