Stui, look at the times the bids were placed.
If Bidder 5 made a max bid of $250, then a bid should have shown up after each of Luka's bids.
My partner lost an auction in a similar way about 18 months ago, and after e-bay investigated it, they found she was being outbid by the seller, and the bid history of Luka's auction has a similar look to it.
If you check further into the bidding history, Luka was also bidding against Bidder 2, 3 and 4, so in theory, he may have been the only legitimate bidder in the auction, and may have got scammed.

You can bid again that quickly, like I said, if he says he didn't then something is wrong.
"Only actual bids (not automatic bids generated up to a bidder's maximum) are shown."
How do you figure he was the only legit bidder? Are you saying that as the others were just named bidder 1 bidder2 etc.

I'm only basing my theory on what my partner seems to think may have happened.
I don't e-bay, and have no intentions of doing so. If I want to get ripped off, I like to look the seller in the eye when they do it.

Contacting ebay wont solve anything. The higher the bid goes, the more profit they make.
Its happened to me. I won a Pippen jersey and noticed the other people bidding only bidded after i did. Then retracted the bid and then bid again to 1 cent less of my highest bid.
I checked the sellers history and saw all the things they had sold, the same thing had happened.
And the people bidding were like 'new ebayers' with no ranking or anything.
Anyway, ebays responce was... "there is no evidence".
I refused to pay and got banned for 30 days. Go figure.

That didn't happen here though. Perfecly legitimate bidding process. Good seller history, 2 bidders had a history of up to 50 (rating points), one between 50 & 100 & the other between 100 & 500.

I've had over 700 transactions on ebay. I've only ever had about 5 items not turn up. "Lost in the mail", one legit (i believe) the others rip offs I reckon.
You're right eBay don't do jack, most of mine were under $20 & they state we don't even look at those claims.
Their fees really pee me off. FeeBay!

Good get Presti.
Study both cards for a while and you can actually see the difference.
One that I noticed was that the genuine card got a 9.5 overall rating, but the fake got a 10, even though it's not centred.

hehehe the Jordan Rookie card is THE card!
Its a shame that someone will pay over 500 for something worth about 2 bucks! Fleer reprinted the card also which caused them some greef. The reprint is worth $2.

I've got a YAKKA black & white ball signed by the 1979 Night premiership team, what you reckon it's worth? Signed in blue pen and signatures ar definitely a bit faded.

You can then see if anyone is bumping you, and then you wait until about 60-90 seconds to go to make your final bid.
Why did you keep bidding against yourself?
