Yesterday, I tried to win an ebay auction near the end by offering a max bid that was much higher than the current price. Typical stuff, just the absolute max I would pay for the pony. With five seconds left in the auction, the max bid jumped just above mine, my max bid being well over one hundred dollars above where it was currently. So I lost. Well okay, I'd been babysitting that auction and dreaming of it but whatever. Bots aren't against the rules.
Today, it's relisted! Whoever won didn't pay! So now I have to go through the whole process AGAIN just to, likely, be sniped AGAIN by a bot with no intention of actually paying what I'll pay. I even messaged the seller with a flat offer to see if they'd just sell me the pony straight out and they seemed mad at ME for placing a large bid before. I would've paid it!! How frustrating!! Have any of y'all had similar ebay woes?
