Single buyer with multiple bids intimidating
Why is it allowed for a single buyer to make multiple high bids? This is a complete intimidation tactic for other bidders. I don't see why it's allowed.

·3 years agoSo you believe that online auctions should run differently in regular in-person auctions?

·3 years agoWhy would it cause that? Most sellers would be thrilled if this happened.
You sold two auctions and you have two active auctions. So are you saying it is a problem if the same buyer bids on both your auctions?
If auctions make you uncomfortable, maybe it is best to stick with fixed price. Auctions aren't for everyone and there is no shame in that. Do what is best for YOU. I mean that sincerely.

·3 years agoHuh? No one can see what the high bid is, how can it intimidate anyone? I think you better brush up on how auctions work here, you don't seem to understand proxy bidding. Here ya go. Oh & besides not being intimidating b/c A-that's how it works, B-no one can see anyone's proxy bid, what it ACTUALLY means is that someone is really interested in your item & has decided to raise their max bid. It happens ALL THE TIME & is expected. It means someone really wants it, which is a good thing.
I would not list anymore until you brush up on how auctions work & what the rules are. Good luck.

Likely that the current hidden bid is still lower than the other coin BIN price.

·3 years agoChances are that each bid is just a dollar higher. It's not intimidating at all. So far, those 2 auctions are very low in price. Anyway, Ebay has always been this way. It will not stop.

·3 years agoWhy would it NOT be allowed? It's most likely that that buyer just really, really wants that item and is willing to pay however much it costs to get it.

·3 years agoAnd evidently does not see that he can bid his top price at any time during the auction and be done.
There are lots of nibble bidders around.
