If you leave an absentee bid on eBay, eBay will execute the bids in the order received. The earliest bid entered is executed first and will block any live bidders trying to bid during the sale until the maximum bid amount is reached. The eBay priority does not apply to floor bidders. What happens on occasion is that a lot will sell to a floor bidder for the amount left by an eBay bidder. For example, you leave a bid of 200 for an item: the bidding opens at 100 and your online bid is recognized by the auctioneer; the floor advances to 150; your online bid is recognized at 175; the floor bids 200. The floor bidder takes the lot since eBay cannot advance to 225 on your behalf, and you cannot bid 200 because you would be bidding against your 175 bid. (Technically, you did not bid 200, even though you left that as the maximum; only 175 was bid on your behalf.) That is, just because you left a bid of, say, 200 two weeks before the sale does not mean you will win the lot because your bid was left earlier. You are bidding against other people in a live auction. This does not mean we we or Ebay discriminates against online bidders. Often online bidders get lots for less than their maximum bid, and typically 25-30% of our lots sell on eBay.In addition, eBay does NOT let us see the amount of an absentee bid. We know a bid has been left, but not how much, so we cannot be aware of your maximum bid. Nor can we fix the bidding so that eBay bidders do not win the lot (we sell too fast to do this, anyway). Besides, if a lot sells for, say, 200, why should we care whether it sells to someone on eBay or someone on the floor 200 is 200. The Auctioneer is the final judge as to the winning bid, no bids will be reopened.At the fall of the hammer,title will transfer.Buyer will become responsible at that point.
