I've noticed many sellers who do this.....IF....the bidding is not to there liking.....or high enough.

They will end the listing.

when I sell on eBay - right now ist Beatle issues....I start them low enough to draw bidders.....hopefully someone will get a deal they were looking for.

That is one way how happy customers return.

Maybe you both bid the same amount, and his bid came in before your bid. Which caused your bid to not go through.

His one bid could of been $100.00, and it would show up as the opening bid of $75.00. When you bid, his bid keeps moving up to a dollar more than yours. Sounds normal to me, unless I'm missing something.

let's see....as a seller and buyer on ebay....I see this...it has happened to me. I brushed it off, never to buy from that seller again....moved on.

It could be....the seller. It could be a fake account, or an option for a private auction.

Not much after that...

Both likely scenarios

How many times someone bids does not matter.

You could bid 14 times and I could bid once, prior to your bidding or after your bidding. And I could win.

The amount of the bid is what matters.

As someone stated above. I could bid $100.00 for an item that was listed with a starting bid of $75.00, and it would show that I bid $75.00 for all the world to see. But the system would know my bid was $100.00, and therefore if someone came later and bid $76.00 or more (as long as it was not over my initial $100.00 bid). Then the system will just up my bid over yours until we reach the $100 mark.

That is how it works.

This is not an auction like on a Friday night at the local auction house. Where it goes up one dollar at a time until someone yells uncle.

You should bid the maximum you are willing to pay for that item, the first time you bid. If you really want it. The system will just record the starting bid price until someone else bids and makes your bid raise to your set upper level amount. YOu might win it for the starting bid price, or just a little more. Or you may lose it to someone that bids $101.00

Now, I am sure someone will come on here and describe "sniping".

You make it sound like it is happening now. Yet, you stated in your first post that you already lost.

I can't help you if I don't know where we are in this situation.

Just a weird thread. OP stated he was "fighting for that comic for days" to get this book, bid $1 over the starting bid of $75, and is now warning people that it's a scam and beware. Yeah...just kind of weird.
