APPEARANCE OF CONSECUTIVE BIDS.In some instances the bid history for an item may show multiple bids from the same user ID with no sign of competing bids having been placed. This gives the appearance that a bidder is bidding against themselves or that there were no competing bids being entered. In essence, when a live internet bidder attempts to bid an amount equal to or below that of a previously placed absentee bid, eBay gives that bid increment to the absentee bidder instead. Since they aren't actually submitting a bid for the live Internet bidder, EBay doesnÃâât enter his user ID into the bid history. When this happens, multiple bids from the same User ID may be displayed. (This info can be found on any eBay bid history page). Thus, at times it may seem that the eBay system is allowing you to bid against yourself. The eBay system is too complex and thorough for this to happen. What is actually happening is another Internet bidder, participating live, is trying to outbid you. EBay designed the eBay Live Auctions bidding system to give absentee bids entered through eBay preference over live bids being entered during the auction through eBay. Therefore, every time a live Internet bidder tried to place a bid, eBayÃââs software entered in a bid for you instead. That's why you may see a series of bids entered in a row from your User ID. Since they aren't actually submitting a bid for the live bidder, EBay doesnÃâât enter his User ID into the bid history. Had there not been a live Internet bidder, eBay would have had no reason to increase your bid amount. This information can be found on the bid history page or obtained directly from eBay by emailing cswebhelpebay.com

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 know during the auction that a current floor bidder's amount equals that of a bid made days earlier by an internet bidder. The bidding patterns that occur during an auction could occur in such a way that a live floor bidder may win an item with a bid amount equal to an internet bidder's top bid amount. 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. BID HISTORY will show consecutive bids by the same bidder in instances where a live eBay bidder is attempting to out bid an absentee. Each time a live bidder tries to bid, the increment is given to the absentee bidder resulting in multiple bids showing on the bid history.
