How is the bidding history displayed on this site and why is it better than the ebay display?
This site displays the bid ordered by the time that it was received. And bids that are higher than the displayed high bid but lose out in the proxy bidding are shown crossed out. So the preceding example would be displayed as follows: After Frank’s initial bid the history displays is: Mon: $50 Frank After Sam’s bid the history displays is: Tues: $55 Sam Mon: $56 Frank After Sam’s second bid the history displays is: Wed: $61 Sam Tues: $55 Sam Mon: $60 Frank After Tom’s bid the history displays is: Thur: $66 Tom Wed: $65 Sam Tues: $55 Sam Mon: $60 Frank Such a display makes it easier to follow what happened as each bid is received and to see which bids did not become high bids due to proxy bidding.
