eBay

I was bidding on an auction.

With a minute left in the auction, I walked away from my PC thinking that I had won.

I come back 30 minutes later and see that I had lost with the winning bid being $2.50 higher than mine.

There were only two bids.

I wake up this morning and there was PM from the seller asking me to pay.

Huh?

Sure enough when I logged into my eBay account it showed that I had won with my original bid.

The seller made no mention of a bid retraction.

I am guessing that the seller had entered a bid thinking that I must have set my maximum bid higher.

Shaking my head.

I won only one of the auctions.

The second one which ended at 8:10 pm ET I know for a fact had multiple bids besides mine and had gone up to $147.xx. Magically, the next morning it shows that I won it.

Beyond weird.

Afraid I'm a bit confused. I'm assuming that you were bidding in an attempt to win the auction and the item which you did. What precisely are you complaining about with regard to the auction that you won? If you didn't win the other one it is irrelevant.
