Reply to "!!!!!Burning Question re: Bidding!!!!!"

OK, cooper, let's tackle your questions one at a time. Your first question is, "SO IS IT OK TO RETRACT A BID ON AN AUCTION I'VE LOST BECAUSE I'VE WON THE SAME ITEM ON ANOTHER AUCTION?"

Why would you want to retract a bid you placed in an auction that somebody else won? I'm afraid you've got me on this one.

"What if two AS snipers go after the same item in a sort of meta-eBay showdown?" High bid wins, as always. That includes any proxy bids of record at the close of the auction -- both snipers could lose. There's a great deal of misdirected importance attached to getting in the last bid in an auction. Doesn't help much if an earlier bid was higher, does it?
