1. In last 5 minutes of an auction, I tried to modify my AS bid but the Amount was grayed out. I got out of modify mode and went back in twice more in the pursuing minutes in further unsuccessful attempts. What went on here?
2. My unchanged bid was for $737.54. The item sold for $735.00. My AS bid was marked "Bid Too Low." My bid does not show up on eBay. What's up with this? (I think my bid didn't go through because I was trying to modify it right down the time the bid ended.)
Changing a bid at the last minute because of a higher amount having been bid by someone else seems to defeat one of the purposes of sniping, which is to decide on one's max at the outset, no?
