I never understand why bid history ends up being displayed this way on eBay.
For example - here is an auction for a Shelby Convertible
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4613831176&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT
The bid history looks like this:
User ID Bid Amount Date of bid
rainhum ( 32) US $150,100.00 Feb-18-06 06:43:05 PST
l-d-b ( 46) US $150,000.00 Feb-17-06 20:22:56 PST
l-d-b ( 46) US $135,000.00 Feb-17-06 20:21:26 PST
l-d-b ( 46) US $130,000.00 Feb-17-06 20:20:12 PST
l-d-b ( 46) US $120,000.00 Feb-17-06 20:16:32 PST
l-d-b ( 46) US $116,000.00 Feb-17-06 20:14:02 PST
happycarz ( 38) US $104,977.00 Feb-16-06 20:06:21 PST
jackmichelle42 ( 331) US $101,000.00 Feb-15-06 14:09:20 PST
ford_chevy_classics ( 4 ) US $100,000.00 Feb-15-06 10:25:57 PST
Why is the l-d-b user listed so many times in a row?
Is it that someone else put in a bid 120, 130, 135 etc but his automatic bid was in first?
But it states on eBay:
Only actual bids (not automatic bids generated up to a bidder's maximum) are shown. Automatic bids may be placed days or hours before a listing ends.
Just curious why that is.
