Won the auction but curious about the bids
Actuall just the last two. I outsniped somebody but I don't think that had anything to do with it. Item# 150323483878
My snipe of $58.61 beat the other snipe of $57.95 ?? I think the bid increment from $25 to $99 is $1.00? If the bid increment was $0.50 I should have won with $58.45?
If my bid had gone in first then the other one wouldn't have been shown in the bidding right?
Here's the only thing I can think of. My snipe got entered before the other snipe. The current bid was well below both snipes. Ebay's proxy bidder considers both our max bids and compares them as being the same (different by less than a minimum bid increment). So it lists the other max bid in the history and my max bid is used as the winner since it was entered first.
If the other bid had been entered first I would think mine would have been rejected/lost since it wasn't a full increment larger?
Anybody know?
