As shown in the attachment, this can lead to issues where a bidder inadvertently increases his own price due to a mistaken click, resulting in unnecessary complaints for the site owner... - [ ![3bids-samebidder.jpg](/forum/attachment/61229) ](/forum/attachment/61229 "...samebidder.jpg") [ ](/forum/attachment/61229?download=1 "...samebidder.jpg") Last edit: 8 months 1 week ago by [lucad](/forum/user/83792-lucad "View lucad's Profile").
