I ended up deciding against it and it sold for only like $2 more than my highest bid. I could have had it!
You’re probably aware of this, but due to the way automatic bidding works on ebay, the fact that it sold for only a few dollars more than your max bid doesn’t mean that was the maximum bid of the other bidder.For example, for items currently between $100 and $249.99, the bid increment is $2.50. So if there are two bidders, and bidder A puts in a max bid of $120 and bidder B puts in a max bid of $220, the item will go to bidder B for $122.50.
