I'm curious, what would have happened if piyin made an initial proxy bid of 80k, and later on someone made a normal bid of 80k? On ebay, piyin would still be winning. But you are saying that on here, the new guy would win?
Initially, the proxy bidder who submitted an equal bid earlier would win - which I think is most fair - but it was causing a lot of confusion and there were objections, so now, if a manual bidder bids exactly as much as the proxy bidder's max, the manual bidder will win. You can see the long discussion on this topic in the
discussion thread (which is really the place for these sorts of things).
