Is Ebay rigging bids?
<< < (5/7) > >>
Muttley Snickers:
If the OP made only one bid of $250 why then do they have two time stamped bids 16 seconds apart ?, yet the opponents time stamps are all the same. I thought the autobids were always applied and stamped at the time of the initial ceiling bid.   
Deni:
I have explained that - first I placed $55 bid and then decided to place $250 auto-bid a few seconds later.

Well, NIST does think so (https://www.nist.gov/pml/time-and-frequency-division/times-day-faqs) - see first line after sub-title "Are noon and midnight referred to as 12 a.m. or 12 p.m.?"
And I take them as pretty good authority on the subject  ;)

Thanks, I interpreted your opening post as meaning you placed one single bid of $250.
I wanted a rude username:

I already mentioned that technicality, and the practice is that every device that tells the time in this way (12 hour with AM/PM indicator) flips the indicator at the same time that the hour becomes 12.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show us a single instance of a device that does not behave this way and we might believe you.

However, this is a distraction from all the other problems inherent in the 12-hour system. And it raises the question: why is a Croatian using eBay in 12-hour time, in the US Pacific timezone?
