Another, one time you could also raise the price on your auction, I had an old chainsaw a two man Mercury with an 8 ft bar listed with a $250.00 starting bid. I wasn’t getting any action so I upped the price to $500.00 then shorted the auction time down to where there was 24 hours left.
What I did not know is that i had a sniper using auction bid software hiding in the weeds, one closing bid - $500.00.
It did not take ebay long to remedy that problem, yes big brother is watching, I may have personally been responsible for some of the changes made to ebay.
Not necessarily changes for the better.
I had something like this happen to me on ebay once too gus. I had someone out used a program to bid on my auction then sniped it out from another buyer. Long story short he said he forgot that he had put my auction into his sniping program and had baught another auction. I opened up a case with ebay and they came to the conclusion his account had been hacked. This even after he emailed me threw ebay that he didnt mean to bid on it. sometime you win sometime you loose.
