bulldog 2 Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I was bidding on some wheels on ebay , I put he bid on the day the ad got listed at 50% more than the starting price which was slightly cheap, the amount I put on was probally a bit dear but I did want them and they don't come around too often. This morning after I had gone out the auction ended and 10 seconds from the end some A-hole bid 4 pence more than me and won them, it only had 2 bidders and I had been on it for 7 days only to loose out the very last moment.Really PI55ES me off that does.

jaysVR6 2 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 You'll have been beaten with a bid assistant my friend. It's a tool many people are using on auction sites and I think ebay are becoming wise to it. How long it'll take them to do something about it is another story. Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 One of the bid assistants is owned by ebay! Link to post Share on other sites
jaysVR6 2 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yea thats an approved assistant, the 3rd party ones seem to be a little different in the way they monitor the auction. I'm a little unsure ebay approve them. Link to post Share on other sites
