Check out the times for the two bids by this unsuccessful sniper: two bids a second apart and the earlier one is listed as coming after the later one.

More's the pity, but if he'd bid only 13 cents higher, he'd have won it. I guess this just wasn't his lucky day ... nor lucky number.

2 auto snipes setup or 1 auto and 1 manual.

I suppose, but you'd still think eBay would list them in time order of their date stamp. I'm thinking of calling this the "Cosmicdebris Effect" after your Heritage bidding experience.

The bids are listed in the correct order. When 2 bids are the same amount eBay lists the earlier bid above the later bid since the earlier bid takes presidence.
