Question Posted Saturday October 13 2007, 12:39 pm

This has ahppened to me a few times before: I bid on something (and it said it has no bids)
So after I bid, becoming the first bid, it'll say I've been outbid, and that I should bid again:
So let's say I bidded .99, then it says I've been outbid, so then I raise it to 1.50, and then it still says it so I go to like 2.50, and then it says "You're currently the highest bidder" or something like that...
So why does this happen?
And how can I make it so that happens with me so when otheres try to out bid it, I have the highest or something?

Sellers can put a reserve on what they are selling, which means until you bid a certain amount of money, it will say your outbid. Theres no way that you can do this to others on an item your bidding on, its just something the seller can do to ensure they get a certain amount of money for the item they are selling.

its because theres a starting bid that the seller sets, so say the starting bid is set at $3.00, and you bid at $1.00, its going to say you've been outbid. but if you bid $3.00 or more, you will currently be the highest bidder. hope you understand!
