Still winning but price has reached my maximum bid, other bidder / s are hidden, says "private listing - bidders' identities protected" is this normal? I thought you could see who other bidders were.... ::) makes me think I am bidding against the seller.... :-/ :-/ :-/

a seller can protect bidder's identity, it doesnt bother me personally if i'm not prepared to pay over my max bid

it does make shill-bidding harder to detect though, so remember, only bid what you genuinely want to, if there's any dodgy bidding goin on it'll most likely get relisted and they'll blame a "timewaster"

Well it's gone £20 over my maximum bid... ::) I am not going to bid any more, it will be interesting to see what the final bid is, is the competition the seller... :-/ :-/

Not bothered if I do not get it, there are better ones around....... :)
Might send him an email expressing interest if it does not sell, that's how I got Master Vamps Car for a very good price and delivered included, mind they only lived about 3 miles away.... :D :D

thats never a bad idea, i tend to do that on alloy wheels listings!!

You'll get greater satisfaction if the car goes for several hundred more than your bid, as opposed to if it ended at £20 more!!

To me this sold at £820 no mention of any reserve....I had a 'punt' with a max bid of £750...... :)

I know he did not sell it cos he sent me a message asking for a bid after it ended.... ::) ::)

And now, re-listed..........

Sorry, I meant to say that this made me all the more suspicions about the hidden bidders I was bidding against, as had I won this car for £820 I would have wanted it and the seller is obliged to let it go, even if he did not get the price he wanted, otherwise he should have put a reserve on it.....Just me being cynical.... :D :D

..........and rightly so. Asked him why he didn`t sell for the winning price and re-listed it higher. His reply
"so are you gunna bid me for the car? or are you just board and asking questions on re-listed cars. car is relisted due to a time waster if you must! know. anyway it did not sell at a high enough price so i am pleased the sale has not went through, if the car does not sell this time i think i will set it on fire up the hills that way i`ll get good money for it."

these people spoil ebay, if the listing winner is a genuine bidder there would be a negative feedback comment, and if there isnt one, you know they were in on it
