Reply to "Bid History Change"

chatterMember

IMHO, we in this forum are NOT typical eBay bidders. We are far more into strategies and bid history analysis. We know from our sniping experience that the eBay world is full of nibblers and emotional bidders of every sort.

Somehow I suspect that marketers have convinced eBay that if nibblers are able to see the amounts of other bidders (even the low ones), they (nibblers) are more likely to bid higher amounts. This translates into higher end prices and higher eBay profits.

So much eBay bidding is based on emotion. ("That ^#&^@! is trying to outbid me for my widget? I"ll show him!") People often consider an item "theirs" before an auction even ends. These types of behaviors may be impacted by the recent chanes.
