A few minutes ago, I looked at an item (ebay 6014322276).
It's highest bid was £4.99 on ebay with 14mns to go.
I organised a snipe for £10 max and looked once in a while to see if there were more bids.
Finally, I looked at my snipes to discover that the item had been won by somebody else for... £10!
I know it's possible but I looked on ebay and found that the £10 bid had been done 2 hours before!
Yet, auction sniper AND ebay reported the highest bid as £4.99.
Is this a dirty trick from the seller?
How does this work?
Thanks
Eric
