Has anyone else had problems bidding on items listed on ebay recently?
I bid in the fashion call snipping. It is not illegal, but discouraged.
Last night I tried to submitt a a bid on an item with 48 seconds left in the bidding time. I had bid on this item previously. I was down to where you are permitted a one touch bid. The instant I touched the bid now button my screen went dark and I was frozen from bidding further. The next screen that appeared told me I had been outbid and the item was sold for much lower than my attempted bid.
Then in a few hours I get a second chance to buy the item for a price $1.00 below what the final auction price was.
This is the second time this same thing has happened to me in very recent times. Do any of you experience this same type of problem? I have begun to believe that the ebay bidding is rigged. Typical of most auctions.
