How did I lose when no-one else was bidding?

Hi,



I want to know how I lost.



I was bidding on an item. No-one else had placed a bid. At the very last second a bid came in and won. I have used Bidnapper etc to win at the last second too, but i though it only worked if you had placed at least one bid so the system recognised you. I had a Bidnap set too just incase, but so did this other person because it over ran my stealth bid, again all at the last second. They could'nt have bid twice in 2 seconds unless they were already in the system. But as I said I was the only one who had placed a bid according to the suction.



How did this happen? Hope this makes sense.



Thanks.

youaretall123 it was only eBays "One Click Bidding" that required you to have placed a bid on the listing already to use that function. Sniping services have no such requirement.

As everyone has said, there are programs / apps that you can use to place a bid in the very last second of an auction without requiring a manual bid at any point. The program does 100% of the work.


 


I've found EZSniper to be great.
