Reply to "Lost Bid"

bqMember

hey guys ... long time AS member, first time Forum user .... under "lost bids" i had a strange one happen the other night and cannot figure it out ... auction ended w/5 bids ... i sniped w/5 sec ... winner was a buyer who had not bid before ... his first and only bid was the 5th ... it was the same amount as my snipe ... and the end screen said he won "because his bid was placed earlier" even though it was the same amount ... the seller had nothing to do with it because the final bid did not meet the reserve ... how can someone bid early, have the highest bid, have it NOT show up on the bid history, until the end of the auction ... i'm sure there is a logical explanation, but even my ebay friends that are very computer savy cannot figure this out
