Ebay question

Here's what happened:

Can I be outbid by less than a full increment?

You can be outbid by less than a full increment. A winning bidder's maximum bid needs only to exceed the next highest maximum bid by one cent.

For example:
You're the first bidder and you place a maximum bid of $20.00. We’ll automatically bid on your behalf up to $20.00 against other bidders.
When a second bidder places a maximum bid of $9.00, your bid is automatically raised to $9.50.
When a third bidder bids $20.01, this bidder becomes the high bidder at $20.01. The third bidder needs only to exceed your next automatic bid amount of $10.00 ($9.50 plus $0.50). Since $20.01 is more than $10.00, and is also more than your maximum bid, the third bidder becomes the winning bidder, unless you raise your bid.

You only need to bid at least one increment over the showing bid; in your case, when you were in the lead, the current bid would have been showing as $13.50, and the minimum acceptable bid at that point would be $14.00 (after a bid increment of $0.50). The person who won the auction placed a bid over the minimum of $14.00.
 
Oh nevermind, I see what happened now, thanks. For some reason, I thought my current bid was at $15.02, but it was actually at $13.50. I thought I was outbid at $15.02 instead of the $13.50. Now it makes sense.
 
DUDE.... EXOsquad...YES. I had so many of them. One of the best constructed toys I have seen. Good luck in battling for the next one!
