Bidding problem

this has happened a few times....it goes like this:

I bid, say 350,000 i get outbid, 350,100 i bid, 360,000 i get outbid, 360,100 i bid, 375,000 ...timer expires with me as "HIGHEST BIDDER!"

...."pending results"....

you have been outbid 375,100

wtf? that really takes the fun out of it...it doesnt give me a chance to make another bid.

this has happened to me the last few times if been in bidding wars. really irritating and frustrating.

 Georgie Boy, I'm not sure why no one ever suggests this but it has always worked for me unless I lost my internet connection. If you're bidding on a SINGLE item at the time, tap it and open it so it's on full display and you're in the bidding screen. No need to manually refresh. I've never missed an expiration doing it this way.

I had someone outbid me by 1 coin.  The AH, with the EA intermediary, is a strange place.

I do it a couple of times once it gets into 15 secs, like at 10 secs and then pretty much every second once it gets below 5 seconds.

How do you manually refresh the auction?

 Oof. Tap the green square with the cyclical arrows in the top right of the auction house

Annoying when that happens

Do you let the game refresh itself or do you manually refresh it?
