<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 23478, member: 669&quot;]I can&#039;t explain why you couldn&#039;t see his bid earlier, but <i>according to the bidding history you posted</i> it went like this:</p><p><br /></p><p>On 11/11 at 9:35:31 p.m. ivy296j placed a bid of exactly $18.93.&nbsp; It was displayed as the seller&#039;s opening bid amount, since only enough of any maximum bid to reach a winning amount is ever posted.&nbsp; The reason I&#039;m sure it was his exact bid is that it is less than one increment higher than yours.&nbsp; Normally a max bid is increased to a full increment over the next highest, but if it is not that high, the max bid itself becomes the new high bid.</p><p><br /></p><p>At 10:16:52 strech12 placed a bid of $15.00.&nbsp; It was too low, and ivy&#039;s posted bid went to one increment over $15.</p><p><br /></p><p>At 10:18:32 Strech tried again, this time bidding $17.00.&nbsp; It was still too low, he wasn&#039;t willing to go higher and gave up, so ivy&#039;s posted bid went to one increment over $17.00.&nbsp; (Obviously at that time ivy&#039;s bids were showing up on strech&#039;s screen, or there would have been no reason for him to make his second bid.)</p><p><br /></p><p>On 11/14 your a bid of $18.83 was placed.&nbsp; If everything had been working correctly, it would have been shown as not enough, with ivy&#039;s full $18.93 displayed as the high bid.&nbsp; Had you then bid higher, you would have won (unless ivy was watching, and decided to increase his bid).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen a lot of software glitches on EBay, but this is the first time I&#039;ve ever heard of a high bidder not showing up. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
