I was winning something at £7 with a maximum bet of £8. Last ten seconds some guy bids and it says I've lost, etc. but then it shows that the final winning bid from him was £8, despite the fact that my maximum was also £8.

Why did it let him win at that price?

Still shows my bid in the auction history (at £7) but appears to have completely ignored my maximum for some reason. Bah.

nvm

My maximum was exactly £8 though, so surely he'd have to bid above my maximum to win?

This is why it is a good idea to always add a penny onto your maximum bid, bit late now I know.

Never thought of that actually. Thanks.

Doesn't the earliest of same sized bids win?

I was the only bidder up until the last ten seconds.

I have lost a bit at the casino recently.

Can't link item as I clear everything on there.
