Neil,
I don't think you got shilled I think you got SNIPED, which I do all the time on EBAY. I rarely put a bid on an item until the last 2 minutes or so. Most of the time it works but some times it doesn't.
I am sure it annoys the person I sniped but if they had put a higher maximum bid then Ebay would automaticaly outbid me and they would still win,but they didn't and they lost, tough s**t, that is the way the game is played, if you don't like it don't play. I have been sniped by others but didn't get all worked up and accuse the seller of foul play. If you really wanted the Turkey pan then you should have payed what he wanted instead of waiting to try and get the good deal and crying foul when someone else outplayed you.
Relax there are more Turkey pans out there. Maybe you should call Finishline and Ante up the 2 bills if you need one so bad, instead of making accusations that you have no proof of.
Have a good one,
Dan
