In that context you are right as well. On ebay you know that you have essentially not bid enough to win or there are not two active bidders who are raising the total to the reserve level. To my way of thinking that is very different from not knowing whether you are bidding against another potential buyer or the seller/owner. To be similar to me, ebay would have to raise your "non-reserve" bid and then wait and see if you bid again. Maybe it is parsing but very different to me.
