I have a question. When I search in Ending Soon, I find people winning bids before the end of the auction time. How does this work? What don't I understand about the auction/bidding process

"Winning bids" are bids that are winning at that time. You can outbid one of those people, then your bid will be a winning bid.

After the lot closes, it will change to "Winners" and list the people who were the final winners.

Make sense?

Also, if you are not a "winner", what does that make you?


Yeah...

In those auctions with multiple lots, I'm thinking they used the "Quick Buy" option to buy a lot or two.

Or maybe just another glitch in the programing.

somebody is messing around with these alternate universes that exist...such overlaps were supposed to be avoided due to the danger of matter coming into contact with itself in the same time and space...

Lol SOB!

Years ago, someone pointed out to me that the silver medalist in the Olympics is the #1 loser in the world...
