I have noticed some mistakes in your review.

  1. Revision in the first sentence sounds very unnatural. Changing the order of the words would make it clearer.
  2. Adding "as usual" next to "lose in the bidding" would mean that he always loses in biddings, which is not the point of the sentence.
  3. "Upload" is a verb. In this case it should be in "...ing" form.
  4. It would have been better to just add "the" instead of replacing "by."

Reviews should make translations better and clearer.

  1. Emphasis the condition, you should put it in front.
  2. as usual means support you as usual;
  3. Emphasis the result of upload action, so should not in ing form.
  4. the connects to deeply move

Would be better to make more sense on English.

  1. If anything, your revision just made the first sentence sound awkward and hard to understand.
  2. "... if you happen to lose in the bidding as usual" would also infer that this person always (as usual) loses the biddings.
  3. "Thank you for upload the photo." This is not emphasis. "Thank you for giving me this book." is another example. I hope this makes things clearer.
  4. "...by the" would make the connection clearer.

  1. including what you said "If anything" is a extremely weird phrase, as well as the "provided", this could mislead reader to understand it's original means.
  2. "as usual" is connected to "help you", not lose bid, read whole sentence and then say it's means.
  3. it's just another usage.
  4. no need "by" here, cause there is "by" in front of the sentence.

  1. This translation is intended for an American customer. I'm sure they pretty much understand what "provided" means.
  2. If "as usual" is connected to "help you," then you should have placed the former nearer to the latter.
  3. This is just plain hilarious.
  4. If you say so then.

All of the things you said in your latest comment would have been more believable if you used the noun form of the verb "mean." It's "meaning" by the way. I can point out other error, but I won't.
