I put my max bid on an item as 59.99. At 1 second someone else bid and won the item for 59.00 HOW THE HECK IS THAT POSSIBLE?

[jadeandjessie]

Shouldnt the logic be that I am willing to pay that much, that the next person who bids would automatically have to bid more than my 59.99 ??

It makes me incredibly angry, what is the point of me having a max bid if it doesnt matter???
Very Disappointed EBAY!

Did you click on # bids in bid history for the listing (show automatic) to see the sequence.

If two bidders bid the same amount the earlier bidder wins.

Remember that the high bid you see is only one increment higher than the second highest bid.

The winner may have a much higher maximum bid which no one but he and the gnomes on the eBay computer farms know.
