shortcrust Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I put a bid on ebay of £101, the present bid is £103, if I place a bid for £200 will anyone else have to pay over that amount....? Yes! .....if they don't will I only have to pay £103? You would pay £104, one pound more than the existing bid. Hope that makes more sense than the ludicrous explanations above!^^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamrocker Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Yes! You would pay £104, one pound more than the existing bid. Hope that makes more sense than the ludicrous explanations above!^^^ Dont think they asked that they wanted to know what would happen if they put a £200 bid on,I take it that the £103 bid is the OP's and they were asking what would happen if they bid up to £200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortcrust Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Dont think they asked that they wanted to know what would happen if they put a £200 bid on. There were two parts to the OPs question. I answered them both accurately and succinctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you didnt you assumed the £103 bid was someone elses ,Im sure the OP is wise enough to understand that if there is already a £103 bid on the item they would have to go over ,hence logically the £103 bid is the OP's and with setting the limit at £200 they wouldnt have to bid again unless the £200 was taken out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic dictates that the £103 is not the OPs bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies I misread the OP you are correct in that instance,it seems as though the OP thinks auctions work backwards..must be Dutch;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cressida Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 At present as far as I can see the bid is £103, I was wondering if I put on a bid of £200 and no-one else bid would I win the item (paying £104) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Hope that makes more sense than the ludicrous explanations above!^^^God forbid someone bothers to explains to the OP why, so that he/she understands the reasons behind your summary (therefore potentially incorrect) conclusions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
