8/28 If someone at eBay bids $10.00 and I bid $20.00, does that mean
I will pay $20.00 at the closing bid, or $10.00 + increment?
I just had an unusual experience where I bid $39.99, but I'm
only paying $31.99. Yes I'm happy about it but what's going on?
\_ your bid is the highest price you're willing to pay, by default.
You will pay the amount of the highest other bid + increment. -tom
\_ So does that mean that if the last bit of an item is $12 and the
increment is $1, I can go ahead and bit $1M to drive everyone
else away, then pay only $13 for that item??? -- yuen
\_ yes but if someone bids 900k for it be prepared to pay
900k + 50 dollars and be in pain.
\_ why is the phrase "the highest amount you are willing to pay and
ebay will automatically bid for you until that amount" so
difficult for you all to understand? seems pretty simple and
straightforward to me -uctt
\_ Well, I've never actually visited the eBay web site. Now I see.
Thanks. -- yuen |
