That is exactly what happened and your bid did count. Did you not see the current bid price go up after your bids??

The real time manual bidding process you want works in live auctions. But eBay is running auctions across all time zones, 24 hours a day. How many people want to stay up to 3 am on Wednsday morning manually bidding away?

This why I hate Ebay. Hidden bid, automatic bids, sniping services, why can't they just let you bid on the damn items? I just placed a bid on a part, instantly told that I've been outbid by an automatic bid. Bid it up one more time, another message that I've been outbid by an automatic bid. Eff this.
