How can you trust what you see in eBay?

I have lo9ng known that lazy coders at eBay use caching  which means that what you see on screen is not necessarily the latest data. However, I came across an extreme case today. The Bidding section on My eBay shows this:

Go to Bidding History and I see:

"That's funny" I thought to myself, "I'm sure I bid £25 on that item". So I went back to place another bid, only to see:

So that is eBay showing three different figures simultaneously!

 

What rubbish! Let's just be thankful these coders aren't working on air traffic control!
