Sniper In Training

Hi! I'm brand new and have been fighting for these damned general admission U2 tickets for like 2 days.

So. I put my snipe as a max of $260 something... but down below it has a different max bid amount. What's that all about? I'm confused.

I figured it out, lol!

Say, since I've got you. Can I ask something that's probably been asked a million times?

I have my max bid for this item in on ebay for 351.55. I have my snipe set at 262.45

Now... I dunno how any of this works. If I cancel my snipe, will my max bid be automatically upped in increments in the final moments of the auction?

Also, if I don't cancel my snipe will it go in at the last 5 seconds of the auction and bid 262.45 for me?

I want these darn tickets. Help me please! LOL

AS will make only one bid in the final seconds, which is your max amount. It is the same as if you were bidding. I do not understand how your snipe on AS can be lower than a bid that you have already placed on eBay. Did you accidentally say it backwards?

The winning bid is one increment above the second highest bid. So, if the second place bid is $295.16 and you sniped for $351.55, then you would win for $300.16, which is one bid increment above the second place bid.
