Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if an auctionsniper bid can be made if the funds in my auctionsniper balance are less than the amount that would be needed to pay auctionsniper for that bid.

For example, I currently have $5 left in my balance, but I want to bid $2,100 on an auction. I'd rather not add more funds on speculation that I might win this auction, because most of the auctions that I bid on are $25 or less. I don't want to have more money being held by auction sniper than I might normally use within a few months. Thanks for any help!!

If you can register a snipe with AS (appears on your “My Snipes” page as “Ready”) then AS will snipe it, even if you end up owing them money.

Another way, that’s requires less monitoring of your AS balance, is to give AS your credit card number. AND, should you die with a balance still in your AS account, your executor won't have to worry about getting a refund (I'm probably getting a little carried away).

Thanks for your help Rick! - Chuck
