Reply to "backdated Proxy Bids"

Hi Dann,

quote:
The final listing, though, just shows his winning amount, not the increments -- is that right?

That’s correct, but that would apply to any time you displayed the bid history - not just the “final” one. A new entry, with a new time/date, appears on the bid history ONLY when a NEW bid is placed. Outtablue only placed one NEW bid, and that was at “Sep 14, 1pm”. Now, Outtablue’s bid did increase every time another NEW bid was placed, but that’s the function of ebay’s proxy bidding system. Ebay’s proxy bidding system doesn’t actually place a NEW bid, it just increases the bid amount until the high bidder’s maximum bid is reached.

I have a feeling that most people at first struggle to understand ebay’s proxy bidding system - I sure did.
