I've bought a couple of things through ebay over the years but I've never had this situation happen, can someone please explain. When I bid on a item (2 different things today) then go to the "confirm bid" button, it immediately gives me a "you've been outbid" message. It happens everytime and immediately/similtaneously so I know it's not just a coinsidence and some one is bidding at the same time. I guess it's some kind of feature or something and I probably have little chance of winning an auction where someone is "automatically" bidding. ??

you can set up a "maximum" you want to bid. let's say the auction is at $100 right now and someone else has set his bidding to a max. of $200 he's willing to pay for the item. if you now come in and bid $120 you'll be automatically out-bid by that other person, because he's willing to go up to $200 so his next bid will automatically be $121.00 (which is higher than your $120) ...
