Reply to "AS bid made 20minutes early + strange bid history"

If I understand correctly then EBay will accept a snipe bid that is lower than the prevailing bid

Placing a bid via AS (except for timing) is exactly like placing a manual bid at eBay. Your bid must be more than the current price by at least one increment. The current price may be less (and usually is) than a max bid. Remember, eBay bid history only shows max amounts for the underbidders. Bid history is in amount order, the following is in time order.

Bidder D bids 35.05
Bidder A bids 45.05 -- A winning, current price 36.05 <-- (edit to correct)
Bidder C bids 39.44 -- A winning, current price 40.44
Bidder B bids 45.05 -- A winning, current price 45.05

Next minimum bid is 46.05, so your bid was rejected as less than the minimum allowed.
