I just had something strange happen to me regarding eBay bids disappearing. Instead of my bid being erased, I am selling a poster lot on eBay and I had a bid on it earlier today, but when I went back to look at my auction later today, the bid was gone. It now says 0 bids...how can that be? 

If the guy removed it, I should have been notified. And I thought you weren't allowed to remove bids.

I know you can retract bids within a certain amount of time before the auction ends. I've never had somebody retract a bid on one of my auctions though so I don't know if you're supposed to receive a notification.

I have to be completely honest here. I didn't believe this was a "glitch" on eBay when this thread was first started in March. But it just happened to me.

I was bidding on a poster that was receiving little attention. I snipe anyway, because that's how you use eBay, with a full 11 seconds left. My max bid is $15.90, I click confirm my bid, a little green bar shows up telling me I'm in the lead. The auction ends.

I check my e-mail, there is no record of my bid or even winning. I think it's strange. I go to pay for the item and find I have not won. Instead, somebody with only nine friggin transactions won for $12.80. Below my maximum bid. I checked the bid history on the item to find my bid was never recorded.

I'm really, really mad. Granted it was $15.90, but Howl's Moving Castle doesn't come up that often and certainly not for that cheaply. I just missed out on an incredible deal because, for whatever reason, eBay decided I don't exist.

It's been a really bad fucking night.

I think it's your bid sniper not working correctly
what are you using?

Myself. I snipe by hand.
