I think the problem with the time might be ebay. I would contact them regarding the time difference between the winning bid and the prior bids and ask them for a reasonable explanation. |
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! Makes Perfect sense now. You should be writing mystery novels! It sounds so simple once it's explained.
I think that the time difference is because his
original bid was increased and not recorded as a new bid, so the winning time reflected his original bid time.
