When auto-bidders go wrong...

[twocvbloke]

Or, more accurately, when I forget I have two identical items set to auto-bid...

Well, long story short, I was after buying a replacement wifi router to replace my dying D-Link DIR-615, so I found a bunch of like-for-like replacements on the bay new & unused, two I put into the myIbidder site forgetting about them, and today, I found I'd won them both...

So, I have two identical routers on the way, all cos I forgot to double-check my auto bidding list...

First time I've made this error, but, I'm sure it won't be the last...

At least the two bids weren't against yourself for the SAME router! That way maybe you could have paid the same amount of money for a SINGLE router.

I don't think ebay would have mixed up two separate bids on the same item for the same username, if Bid A is over a lower amount than Bid B, it just increases your maximum bid amount that the ebay auction would automatically bid up to for you...

Still, doesn't excuse my error, but at least I'll have a spare router regardless...

Well, one of the two routers arrived today, works nicely and now I have a PSU to run my Linksys PAP2t, seeing as it came without a PSU and the one I was using was for the Roku and that's been returned to service since I got fibre...
