content: Looks like that is going to go quite high now, should always snipe those as far as I am concerned, or at least wait till the last 20 minutes then sit on it ready to bid. Bidding now only alerts others and pushes the price high sooner.He has these as well.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JOB-LOT-OF-LOOSE-CAPACITORS-RESISTORS-WEIGHT-2KG-PANASONIC-VISHAY-ECT-/311373908430?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item487f54c9ce

content: Yeah, i'm not good at sniping, wonder ifhttp://auctionsniper.com/is still working, or are there other sniping options today?Job lots like that is not so funny, bought one, and takes ages to sort out what is inside the bag

content: IMHO almost a pointless exercise bidding on these as there is almost always one of two bidders, with private feedback, bidding on many of their auctions. Difficult to prove anything but 70 or 80% bid activity with this one seller? I smell rotten fish.Ebay user id's e***r or e***d (both with private feedback) Will bid at least two and maybe up to four times at 6 seconds before the end of the auction, often these multiple bids on an auction are of an identical value. I wasn't even aware you could bid more than once at the same price level. One of these user names has just popped up in the past week or so (the one ending in r) The modus operandi is identical.See item 351412317692, one recent one picked at random where e***d was outbid, and try an explain what is going on, i've been on Ebay since the last century and it makes no sense to me

content: Mmm. Ebay bids can be tricky to untangle at the best of times. At a (very) rough guess:This is with auto-bids showing (that is, bids that Ebay makes on your behalf). You can see that e***d made a bit of £9.26 which wasn't high enough, so Ebay bumped it to £15.15. The second instance may be Ebay trying to trump r***l (the time is the time of the original bid, not the time that Ebay plays with itself).Alternatively e***d may have placed a bid with ebayandsniped. I sometimes do that - the first to either test someone elses bid or show some activity (so the item isn't withdrawn), and my snipe being the real bid. Of course, in the case where both bids show up, they have different times...Perhaps mention this e***d to Ebay and ask their opinion?
