Might have fucked myself on ebay with my current auction

[footfootfoot]

I just looked at the bid history and it jumped from 125 right to 212.50 in 8 bids by 7 bidders. I'll have to read up on this.

Tom's bid is raised to his maximum of $12.00. Laura's bid is now $12.50.
We send Tom an email that he has been outbid. If he doesn't raise his maximum bid, Laura wins the item.
