    Hang on, according to what the OP said, s/he put £400 in near the end.
    It was not the first bidder's maximum! :confused:

    To be honest, I don't know why you bother either :p

    Assume the first bidders maximum was above £400 then, for simplicity.
    Item would not have gone for less than £400.

    Or, alternatively, imagine that the first bidders maximum was... I dunno... £350. Item would therefore go for more than £350, as OP (second bidder) put in £400. http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/buy/automatic-bidding.html

    (btw I apologise for my fiance. :rolleyes: )
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p

    Telly you what Willa, I'll create an ebay item on an expendable account for you. Then, you place a bid of, say, £10,000. Then, if someone else from here could place a bid of a few hundred quid, we'll see who's right...

    And by the way, I don't do mutuals, and do utilise NPB strikes.

    Willa,
    Whoever is willing to pay the most should always win the auction..

    No only if they are a full increment higher. You can lose an auction even if you put a higher amount in if its not a full increment higher
