David,
I read an excellent book about how to buy and sell on Ebay written by a guy
named Dennis Prince. He had a whole chapter on bidding at the last minute.
It is a smart, widely used, and acceptable technique, and he gave all the
reasons why it works. You have nothing to be ashamed of, and the guy was
out of line.

Subject: Ebay policy question
With all the talk about ebay stuff lately I have a question about "what to
do when". In this case I was watching an item for my wife's mustang and
another person had a bid in on it, new ebay bidder ( no previous history ).
I went and bid on it within the last minute and ended up getting the item.
Well 10 minutes later I recieved an email from the previous bidder as
follows:
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: that was cheap
talk about sleezy... bidding at the last minute..
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am simply going to ignore this email but if more happens to come is there
a recourse I have with eBay?
Thanks
