Strange bid history..

hard_up_and_fed_up

Just checked other halfs account and he has sold an item - great! However, just looked at bid history and it seems odd;
Start price was 14.99, which i thought was met by bidder 1. However, a different bidder won the item and the start bid - according to the history, was £17?? Do they only show the final 3 bids now?
Or may i have imagined bidder 1 meeting the start price?

I'm not sure what you mean, but the first bid placed will always be equal to the start price or above. If someone then comes along and bids higher that figure will increase in increments to their maximum bid. So, if the first bidder has £17 next to his name then that was his maximum bid but would only have shown as 14.99 until he was outbid. This is how proxy bidding works.
