Wanted: Reverse Bid Group Option

Guest

What I really would like to see is something like a reversed bid group option.

For example i bid on an overseas item i will have higher shipping fees which i might want to "reduce" by winning more items of the same seller. So i'm bidding on a "main" items and some that i would take with it but just if the main item hits.

When bidding on US items i had lots of losses since i'm from europe and most items end at night.
So i had to enter the fixed amount and often ended by losing my main auction and only winning one or two of the secondary items

Technically this would be very easy to solve, of course only if the "secondary" items end after the primary.
I really would love to see such an option.
Maybe you'll at least spend a thought for it

I have exactly the same situation from the U.S. to European postcard sellers, who generally don't charge extra shipping for more cards. So far I have created separate folders for each seller to keep track, but it can get confusing. So I've had the same thing happen to me--ended up losing the item I wanted, and only getting the secondary item I'd added as "whipped cream."

It would wonderful to be able to signify a "primary" snipe, for which a win then dictates whether the following snipes in that bid group are executed.

Of course we aren't! There are thousands of us! The problem is, there is a cunning plot to make us think Adam isn't reading this topic avidly every morning with his newspaper and coffee!
