This is an eBay glitch that needs to be addressed. I will call them tomorrow.

You just won the eBay "Guess the top bid" contest. For winning that, you receive two conflicting messages.

I've said this too many times... when eBay outsourced their development overseas, this is an example of the result.

I have 3 items in my "cart" and they are virtual as they are non existent. I have seen other quirky things lately too. Oh well...take the good with the bad I guess...btw, I realize that on the auction I lost by a penny the high bidder had another bid in too....but still.....
