This auction has one bidder, bid 3 times and his highest bid is the current bid. What's up with that? |

Hello, it could be what they term in the industry a shill bidder. That is someone who knows the seller and is deliberately bumping up the auction price. This is not permitted on ebay but is a very bad loophole that has not been overcome. One way to tell is check the sellers other listings if any and see if that same userid is bidding in his other auctions. Also, look at the pattern and see if he always bids the same way. This would be a red flag. |

The only way that bidding makes sense is if the reserve was $300. |

The reserve was $300. He had to keep bidding until he hit that amount. |

There is no reserve on the card. That was my first thought too, but if there was a reserve, there were be a note next to the price "(reserve met)". It's not there |

Maybe it's a Canada server issue? I had a similar experience back in March with an auction I sniped which ended with a large gap between myself and the underbidder. So I sent an inquiry message to ebay Canada support on the issue, their response was this... |

eBay has changed their reserve policy so "Reserve Has Not Been Met" displays until the reserve is met, and after that there is no other indication that there ever was a reserve...such as "Reserve Has Been Met". |
