I, well, my wife, has bid for a couple of things recently. This is my first experience with eBay, so I’m not sure that it’s working the way I expected.<\/p>\n
The first bid was for a Robbie Williams doll (did I mention that it was for my wife?)…we were outbid by 50p on the last day.<\/p>\n
The second bid was also for a Robbie Williams doll …we were outbid by 50p on the last day.<\/p>\n
Amazing, 50p each time, different sellers. How did that happen?<\/p>\n
Either eBay is outbidding by 50p for their benefit or the seller has another account for increasing the bid.<\/p>\n
Heck, I don’t care, it’s a con either way in my opinion. Unless somebody from eBay e-mails me to confirm that this is not the case, that’s my bidding on eBay over…after two failed attempts. <\/p>\n
