Price changes in listing

[kopenhagen5]

Here is an interesting one I haven't seen before.

I'm looking at buying a second hand safe. So I have put some on my watchlist.

My budget is 500 and I went to put a bid on this one - 

I select the listing and it now shows this -

And when I go back to the watch list it's still 477.91

Assume it's a glitch but I've never seen anything like this.

It shows as $650 starting bid for me on both app and mobile web.
I wonder if its a glitch like the free post listings showing post costs...

*edit* i did notice another safe, same seller at $450 one bid.

They edited the minimum price on the 4th but that should've followed through to the watched item.

If you put in the item number from the first pic it does come up at $650

So it looks like you watch list hasn't updated,(sometimes with glitches like this clearing cookies and cache

can correct them as long as you know all your passwords to get back in),

Thank guys. Tried that tazz and now it's gone up by 1 cent to 477.92. 

Must be a glitch.

i'm watching an auction item, in the watch list its got no bids, start price $3.98. when i open it up to the bidding page its still got no bids but has $5.00 start bid.

It seems like the watchlist is showing the USD conversion amount. ($650 AUD is currently about $477 USD).

Kopes, it's $650 in gallery and same in the listing for me.

edit:  digi's right...just went into my watch list and it's all US $

[*tippy*toes*]

I just had a look at the listing and it said $650 start bid. I added it to my watch list and it says AU$477.92

If the watch list is showing in US$ as mentioned, why would it say AU and not US? I buy a lot of stuff in USD and it always shows an approximate conversion to AUD in my watch list. So, if it was at $477USD in the listing, it would show $650AUD in my watch list.

I just changed to the US site while in my watch list and it shows as US$351.95 with the orange flag next to it. Orange flag means approximate conversion rate from AUD to USD (in this instance).

I just checked the other items in my watch list (back on the .au site) and the price in the watch list is the same as the price in the listing. Sad to think that this seller might get negged for being a scammer if someone adds it to their watch listing thinking it's $477, only to discover after they've won it with 1 bid and they're forced to pay $650.

A new one on me. I've not seen this before!

Looks like DG's right and incorrect price still shows as AU so must be some sort of site failure with the conversion program.

tippy, you would need to confirm bid 650 though and don't think anyone would accept the price as going down as being normal.

This is how it shows on my watch list Kopes
