PLEASE NOTE THAT EBAY S TRADITIONAL TIE BID POLICY CANNOT APPLY TO LIVE AUCTIONS. Under the current system it is impossible for live auctioneers to be made aware of a tie bid situation between an internet bidder and floor bidder during the auction. The bidding patterns between floor bidders and internet bidders could be such that a floor bidder may win a lot for an amount equal to an absentee bidder's previously placed max bid. For instance: if a proxy bid of 100 is placed through ebay for item A. And purely by chance, bidding for item A begins in the auction room at 40, then an ebay bid comes in at 50, then 60 to the room , 70 to an ebay bid, 80 to the room, 90 to ebay, 100 to the room (the maximum amount placed with ebay was 100, so no more signals are received from the internet). If no other bids are received from anywhere, the item sells for 100 to the room (the same amount that was bid by proxyabsentee prior to the auction). Ebay DOES NOT reveal bid amounts at any time. There is no mechanism in the software to alert the auction house that a bid of 100 was placed days earlier. Thus, Ebay's standard tie bid policy of first bid entered does not apply to live bid auctions.
