I'm not, basically I am placing a bid but I am outbid by someone who had a higher top bid. Looking at the bid history it can be confusing but basically Say the auction was at $100 Bidder A authorizes eBay to bid up to $500 on their behalf but eBay displays it as $110 Bidder B bids $120 and eBay then bids $130 on Bidder A's behalf It isn't until Bidder B bids $501 that they are actually the top bidder
Once I was bidding on a 15k slot and i was outbid right after i bidded. I thought, wow, that guy is fast!!! I have also seen some people use sniper tools as well for bidding. Otherwise how could one bid in that last second of the ending time of auction. I bidded when 10 secs were remaining, I refreshed and I was outbid.
Yup, back in the day when I used Yahoo if there was a snipe it extended the auction by like 30 seconds which was great for sellers http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:31&item=270028959717
Something tells me my $926 bid is going to look pretty pathetic when this auction actually finishes ...lol
Update: My brother says 100 folks currently watching the auction. Not on eBay Pulse, but currently #5 one level below

Yep ... as a matter of fact, the v7ndotcom page won several thousands dollars for charity in that SEO contest ... and I have a carcasherdotcom seocontest page trying to win more for a good cause ... althought not doing as well so far ... love to have you guys toss some Google Juice at it! ;-)
Alek - shoot me a note/reminder and I'll do a blog and some other write-ups and linking for you for the contest like I did last time-round ... good luck!
Cool - thanks SumitBahl Note that folks who help out the charity entry with some decent google juice get a listing here I.e. link for Celiac Disease for a few months, get a permanent PR6 backlink! Ain't shabby ... and won't cost you a $1,000+ like the used Seattle Supersonics Shaving Bag ... ;-)
