I guess the real frustration here is that initial excitement that you might cop a bargain whilst the bidding is low, only for someone to wade in early and shatter that dream. At least let me live the illusion a bit longer so I actually think I have a chance of paying less  |
Ha, the illusion might be just that though.
You could be willing to pay £300. You might watch it at £200 up the last few seconds and add £220 with confidence. Only to find the other bidder had a max bid set that just automatically outbids you. You’ve then lost it for less than you were willing to pay because you waited. Ultimately eBay is a bit of a lottery without a buy now option.
