Ebay madness

Ah, have you considered it might be a mistake?

How so I hear you cry?

Have you ever mistyped a comma rather than a period when entering a number
in Ebay, and then (stupidly) forgotten to check the number before
continuing? I have :-) I then had hyperventolated (sp?) while I tried to
figure out how to retract my bid!

For example:
    30,00 = 3000, not 30.00
    250,00 = 25000, not 250.00

So 250.00 might be high for some, but no where near as bad as 25000!

Cheers,
Duncan.
