Thread: The bay says I was outbid

But it looked like a draw to me. My bid was the same as the other guys exactly one second after his but he won. I'm not an auction vet so is there something I'm missing here?

first bid wins.

That's irritating. Thanks for the info though.

Was that the auction with the neked people?(on the scales)

If you would have beaten his bid by a cent it would have been yours.

Actually no. You have to beat him by at least one bid increment.

not in this case

From Bid increments on the eBay website:

Can I be outbid by less than a full increment?

You can be outbid by less than a full increment. A winning bidder's maximum bid needs only to exceed the next highest maximum bid by one cent.
