I have been watching an item it was showing 1 bid for $1000 for the past few days, now still showing "1 bid" but for $1200 and I  the duration of sale has been extended, Is that normal?

Listings with bids can't be changed even if the Seller cancels the bids. The Seller would need to cancel the bids and end the auction before the last 12 hours then relist the item.




In that case the item would have a different number.  What about if the bidder withdraws his bid?  Would the seller then be able to lift the price and extend the time?

Anyway, even if it is legitim I find it a bit annoying when an auction is cancelled because bidders can miss out on other items...

Did you have the item in your watch list or were you doing a Search each time as  I have a feeling, but could be wrong, that there could be 2 different item numbers with the first item being relisted.


Did you check in completed items ?

1959noni - could you please return and answer this question?  You did ask for help after all.



What is the title of the item? (not the item number)

Probably just ended the auction early and relisted with a higher price. Like super_nova said, check to see if the item number is different, if you still have the original auction saved.
