Perhaps the ebay sequence did not show that OP between my $46 and $55 bids but how did the OP know my maximum bid and just bid $1 below it

Why are you assuming everything is dodgy,  they don't know ypour maximum bid,  but guess what they can just put in that number which happens to be $1 difference.

I often win auctions because I put in odd amounts,  which trips up people who insist on putting in exact numbers.
