Winning and losing on an eBay lot at the same time.

If two identical max bids come in on an item, I believe the first one is the winner.

This happened to me once, years ago (2004). I was new to eBay. I bid $1000 on a T206 Uzit, but lost to an earlier $1000 bid. Now I bid in odd increments.

That works most of the time. But I lost by 1 cent last night.

He had double stacked bids Leon, so technically, you don't know what his true "top bid" was....you were just one cent under his first low bid...before he rebid higher.

Last month I bid with seconds to go and watched the count down and the green bar popped us saying I won the lot. I went to pay for it and was unable to, I went back and was told that I lost the lot????
