Blocked on auction to keep bidding
Summary: poon3912 expressed frustration after being disqualified in an eBay auction, even though he had been the highest bidder. He suspects a block in the final minutes of the auction. lingma85 replied by explaining that the auction had been won by another user with a higher maximum bid, and suggested a possible desynchronization between U.S. and French clocks, which could explain the confusion. poon3912 acknowledged this explanation and thanked lingma85 for the clarification.
I was unfairly disqualified from this auction Fri. Sept. 26, 2025, ended at 22:04 for Citizen Eco WR200 Drive Perpetual Radio Controlled Watch Blue Black SEE DESC , even though I was the highest bidder, in the last 03 minutes, I was blocked from continuing to bid, I am filing a complaint against these unfair tactics. A world-renowned site like Ebay must ensure that this kind of unfair tactics will be punished. I hope I will be heard.Thank you for your understanding.

Mentor11 months agoHello @poon3912
A username with 2 ratings beat you to it...
- they had been on this listing since 19:45:32...
When you look at how the bidding unfolded, it’s easy to see that this username had placed a maximum bid clearly higher than yours and that they won because since 20:44, their bids were systematically going above yours.
It doesn’t seem like there was any real blockage..... maybe a lack of time ( in minutes/seconds...) due to a lack of precision between the US clock and the one in France on your machine.
That’s the only thing you could point out....
Take a close look at the bidding timeline... it’s obvious.
In any case, if you want to win auctions, you shouldn’t hesitate to put in the maximum price you’re willing to pay to get the item...
Regards

OP11 months agoThank you for enlightening me, it may be that there was a lack of time between the US pendulum and that of my machine in the last 03 seconds of this auction, which led me to think there had been a bidding block against me, thank you very much.
