He has probably used the ebay option to increase the size of his bid and maybe inding that Ebay has just put a new time stap on it for record keeping.

Tis a good sign really as the guy looks like he has increaed the size of the bid coz he  wants the car.

I take it the guy hasnt won anything looking at his feedback.

A lot of people wont allow people to bid with less than 10 feedback, they ask them to email the seller to find out if they are geniune or not.

That would actually be a bit difficult in your case as you only have 1 feedback.


Nice looking car though, all the best with your sale and I hope you get the price you are after.

He is fishing for your reserve price.

Each time he's increasing his bid to see if the reserve disappears, when you bid on a reserve auction, if the maximum bid you put in would hit the reserve price then it automatically bids that amount.

So basically he hasn't bid enough to buy your car.

How many watchers with 4 hours to go ?

Edit : I'd give you £1200 for it  ;D

his higher bids will only show when a new bidder outbids him

Yes, but this is no use to the seller as the bidder still hasn't bid enough to reach the reserve.
