Biddding05:52:54 UTC usaa7777it was set up as an auction, correct?05:53:30 UTC Carla JeanYes, you're right.05:53:43 UTC usaa7777If it was an auction, should not my bid have gone to the next tier?05:54:04 UTC usaa7777not my full bid almost?05:55:58 UTC Carla JeanI can see here that your winning bid price is amounting $12005:57:19 UTC usaa7777Was it an auction item? Are you familiar with how Auctions work the bids go to the next tier not full bid?? That is why I am asking if this was set up as an auction or something different05:58:44 UTC usaa7777My winning bid was $120 but it should have just increased a percentage over the last bid. Isnâ€™t that how auctions work question unless it was not an auction. I am trying to understand this06:01:06 UTC usaa7777How to set up automatic bidding To set up automatic bidding on an auction listing, enter the maximum amount youâ€™d like to pay for the item and select Place bid. Weâ€™ll bid in increments on your behalf to keep you in the lead but only up to your limit.06:01:16 UTC usaa7777From ebay website06:01:45 UTC usaa7777there were no other bids but went right to $12006:02:19 UTC Carla JeanThank you for that information, bear with me.06:05:55 UTC Carla JeanTo have a better understanding, you want to know why the winning bid ends with $120, right?06:06:43 UTC usaa7777Correct with no other bids in between. I have never had an auction perform like this06:06:59 UTC usaa7777it is suppose to be incremental I thought?06:09:15 UTC Carla JeanIf I may ask, when you place the bid, did you opt in to automatic bidding?06:10:08 UTC usaa7777if you look at my past 300 purchase they are all automatic. I have never heard of opting in.06:10:43 UTC usaa7777Is this new? To opt in?06:12:38 UTC Carla JeanBear with me please.06:19:23 UTC Carla JeanUpon checking on here, I will file a report about what happened because as long as it is automatic bidding then it will not jump to that amount, it should be incremental.06:20:42 UTC usaa7777Are you going to contact the seller and have my final bid adjusted?06:22:39 UTC Carla JeanIt would be best if you will contact the seller and let them know what happened.
