Re: [MOPO] SPAM-LOW: Re: [MOPO] SNIPING IS NOT INFALLIBLE

[Bruce Hershenson]

I am 99.999% certain it is impossible to bid against yourself on eBay, except in the exact "completing the bid increment" example cited by Claude, or if you use two different eBay IDs that you have.  I am so sure of this that I will give a set of 26 books to the first person who can show me a bid history where a person raised their own bid beyond a single bid imcrement.

So go ahead and place a snipe bid and also bid yourself, and you will have double protection against any sort of failure.

But what in the world does this have to do with Al Shevy?  Hasn't MoPo turned into the "Al Shevy Society"?  Let's have an Al Shevy update.

I'm forwarding a copy of this to Bruce, as maybe he can shed some light on this question.  He

Kirby, I believe you can actually bid against yourself. I may be a bit foggy on this, but I once attempted to place both an Ebay bid and a snipe bid, and either esnipe or Ebay thought it was two different bidders, and as I recollect, I trumped myself.
