Exactly you pre-determine how much you want to pay. If you get outbid at any time, then obviously the new bidder was willing to pay more than you.Originally Posted by Vector Prime
Congrats mate, you've just made a new enemy! j/k
I actually dislike that eBay has now made the winning bidder anonymous.. I used to get great pleasure in people knowing that I outbid them at the last second... lol
One shot, one kill, win or lose... why waste multiple bullets when only one will suffice?
Not my fault that the person I outbid wasn't prepared to pay as much as I was, irrespective of when the bid is (was) placed!
Here is an example, I won this last night in the last 10 seconds, before I bid it was at 46 so the bidder must have set his maximum to probably 66.99

So I dropped 101.11 in the last 10 seconds. Ofcourse that was a risk, if the bidder was willing to pay $100 then ouch. But he wasn't and I was confident enough that would raise their maximum bid..
I had planned to win this because a day earlier I bought this to put in it

Hopefully no one on here was the previous bidder
