Schilling

[marmargagne]

For the second time this week someone waited till last minute and left me no time to respond. Tonight was worse as it came up Id won and while I waited for Pay now to come up instead it said sorry you ve missed out this time. Firstly how can they put you ve won if someone has bid on time. I feel like removing ebay app as once was bad but to be told you ve won and one full minute later saying sorry you ve missed out is way below the belt. Totally gutted and angry.

Just to clarify -

What you are describing"someone waited till last minute and left me no time to respond" is snipe bidding. bidding at the last possible second.


"Schilling" schill bidding is illegal - that's when a seller arranges for the item price to be artificially inflated by another account[s] bidding and have no intention of winning.

What can I do about it. It was obviously ebay sent me message saying Id
won. Then a minute later sorry you missed out this time.

As explained before, the system can't keep up with snipe bids,
