@mods @retr0id Is this sort of behaviour not blatantly against community guidelines?

@Jasonb I mean it's kinda the point of the market, yeah? make silly ebay bids on a crane made by a manifolder and oh wait what about TWO cranes

@Stralor Hmm maybe, spamming the API with essentially nop bids though doesn't quite feel right.

Sorry I think I'm just a bit worked up by the big loss. Apologies for tagging mods. Oops I shouldn't have traded so big on a market that could've been manipulated like this. I'm an idiot. We live and learn.

@Jasonb retr0id said it was through the web interface, if that's any consolation!

But yeah, big losses happen. Part of the fun to take them on the chin!

@Stralor Oh sorry yes, I totally misread that. Doesn't help that this was amongst the first things I was reading as I woke up 😅

@Jasonb Huh? How is this about spamming the API? Do you mean the manifold API? How is that or the manifold web interface relevant?

@EvanDaniel No sorry, please ignore this, it was mistaken

resolves YES

@nikki There's some real funny business going on here. eBay bids are supposed to have a minimum amount of distance between them.

@SimonWestlake and yet, the bids are shown on the main page, so they count.

@SimonWestlake fwiw, I was increasing my bid each time, it's just that ebay doesn't show the max bid to other users

@retr0id With the API though, right? I was pretty sure increasing your max bid didn't count, though I could be wrong

@SimonWestlake nah just through web interface

@retr0id Wild. I can't believe I didn't pick up on that.
