Why does the call GetAllBidders not return the Bid History like the site?
GetAllBidders is designed to return a unique list of bidders so as to enable the seller to make Second Chance offer listings. It does not return the bid history like the site does. For instance if the site returns the history as below:
| User ID | Bid Amount | Date of bid |
dts1   |
US $5.50 | Jul-31-06 11:23:06 PDT |
| dts2 ( 1 ) |
US $5.00 | Jul-31-06 11:22:40 PDT |
| dts1 |
US $4.00 | Jul-31-06 11:22:31 PDT |
| dts2 ( 1 ) |
US $3.00 | Jul-31-06 11:22:17 PDT |
| dts1 |
US $2.00 | Jul-31-06 11:20:49 PDT |
GetAllBidders will return only two offers in the BidArray corresponding to the highest bids placed by each of the users.
