<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 348483, member: 11521&quot;]Dutch auctions are different. They don&#039;t work the way an regular auction works. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I found out the hard way. I found a tool pouch I needed for my work (my old one was wearing out) on a Dutch auction. The guy was selling 5 and the starting bid was $5. I had been looking for this pouch for a while and I really wanted to get a new one plus a few extras. I was the first (and only) bidder. My bid was $7.50 each for all 5 items. I figured I owned the seller $25 plus shipping. NOPE! I owed him $37.50 plus shipping. eBay explained to me that there is no proxy bidding in a Dutch auction and my bid is the price I will pay unless I am outbid. (I think that&#039;s how it works.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have not bid on a Dutch auction since then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
