icecream Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 how is it possible to have an item starting at $30 has 3 bids and is still at $30 ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathroommonkey Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 pretty sure the same person can bid, then bid again to raise their high bid. So i guess the same person could bid three times. so until two people bid the price will not go up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 the same bidder bidding on top of his self, padding his bids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yeah, I think some people do this to try and scare off other bidders. I've seen people do this a lot. Or maybe they are frantic and freaky and just keep bidding. Either way it usually doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin848 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yikes, eBay 101. in my defense i've been severally stoned for the past three weeks We can tell by your spelling, haha. I often times will bid on an item, become the highest bidder and then pad my bid with the highest price I am willing to pay. So pretty much on anything I bid on I will have two bids one right after the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
