eBay message regarding early winning bid

cartmanMember

I won an auction via normal proxy bidding. My bid was placed about 1 day + 4 hours before the auction's end.

When I went to pay for the item, I noticed a new message (new to me, anyway):

'Congrats, you're the winner. Your early bid took home the prize'

Interesting ...

Actually, there's nothing special about it. I just won another auction via a snipe, and the message was something like "your last minute bid did the trick". So a form-letter message will appear no matter how early or late you bid.
