@Deni, did you by any chance neglect to mention that you first placed a $55 bid, and then (a bit later) a $250 bid? That's what it looks like to me. Your fist bid was overbid by the one which 6***4 had made the day before, your sencond bid went higher than his. |

The times confused me at bit at first, but according to wikipedia 12:29:39PM could (should?) be read as 00:29:39PM. |

But it still does not explain everyhing - see below: Auction ended just now and here is the final list with all bids shown (unless e-bay is not showing everything). So there's still one thing which does not fit the picture - how can 6***4's first bid ($51) be on the 7'th position from the bottom? If he placed auto-bid for $200 on 12.02 at 5:43 it should first appear 5'th on the list, just after 6***3's. Instead, there's r***r's bid. Also, note that the bidder's names are some random letters - if you click on a bidder it will show stats with some other random name but number of transactions is the same. As everything else is obfuscated, it is impossble to tell what data are actual and what are, well, not... Please note that I do not want to post any ebay links as it will reveal my ebay name and I am not comofrtable with that. |

12 PM on the 12th of February is before 5 PM on the 12th of February The order is correct. Are you confusing AM and PM? 12 AM is midnight, 12 PM is lunch time. r***r bid at 12:29 PM, Lunchtime 6**4 bid at 5:43 PM, early evening |
