Ok here's a strange situation!
I was watching an item and planned to bid last second. There was zero bids, starting price was $100 and I decided to bid $120 just in case of a snipe. I bid with 3 secs to go, there was no bids at that point. I won the item, and I remember seeing $100. Later I was going to pay when I noticed that the winning fee came up as $120.
I went into the bid history and it has the first bid as $119 by z***2 with my exact rating and %. So looks like I somehow outbid myself. Today I looked again and now the first mystery bid has gone up to (79) whilst Ive stayed on (78) transactions. So I went into his bidding history and it doesnt quiet correlate to my history. To add to this, the bid history says that he bid 1 minute after I did even though I bid 3 seconds before the auction ended???
So, either ebay has glitched up OR someone with almost exactly my username, rating and % (ridiculously unlikely) tried to snipe exactly $1 under my max bid???
**bleep**?
Would love for someone to clear this up for me
looking forward to your thoughts 🙂
