I'm such a noobie about Ebay and I know someone out here in RCB can answer my question.
There were, and are, some beads that I'd really like to own. Everytime I make a bid I'm automatically outbid. How can I tell what the max that is currently offered? It doesn't seem fair that I can't tell how much the current bidder is willing to pay. That would tell me whether or not I want to try to outbid her/him. I can understand it to a degree - why pay more than necessary but how about not wasting my time making bids if someone already has a hold on the item?
(Okay, it's kind of obvious that I'm a bit miffed about this. I know that's not nice but it seems like I'm spinning my wheels making bids when someone already has said they'd pay that amount.)
