Hi Guys I bid on an item with a reserve price and won it, the under bidder bid £43.00, but what I am not able to understand is why I end up winning it with a price of £55.00.

because the lowest reserve is £50.

[buggerlugs0168]

is it possible then that the reserve price was £55.00 it just seemed strange that was my top bid.

yes if the reserve was £55 your bid would have jumped to that and you won
