Would someone please explain how the bid process actually works? Why do some people WIN a bid with LOWER price than what I bid??? I have sent several emails to CS but noone every responds???????????????

Are you talking about an auction where there are lots of items in it?

If so, set your price and get in early. If not, you pay more.

^Yup... if the lot you are bidding on has 10 lots, and I am the first bidder and bid $5 on all 10 lots, then you come along and bid $10 on 3 lots... I lose 3 of them to you and win the other 7 at $5.

Moral of the story... bid early, bid often, and if you lose a bid... you're weak!

The best way to ALWAYS win is to put a max bid of, say $1000, for each item. Make your actual bid whatever you want, but whatever anyone else bids, you will always win (up to $1000).

Guaranteed to work.

Thanks for keeping the lights on.
