yes, yes, yes.... if it makes you feel better - while there is no 100% way of ever knowing, with a little homework, it's pretty obvious in some situations. The auction was won for $20. My AS was for $160+. The same bidder never bids more than $75 for the same items from the same seller. Sombody else could have bid / won but they didn't. You do the math.
I did not say anything about AS guaranteeing a win nor am I bashing AS - just venting some frustration (at the loss of the auction - not at AS or even EBay). I merely posted to see if my symptoms might have been experienced by others and then learn that some Ebay troubles can result in the "undefined" status.
Quite simply - if this was the result of Ebay issues - I'm done. If it's an AS issue - I'll request a free snipe or something. At the end of the day - I'd just like to know the source of the "undefined" status to see if it can be avoided in the future.
I'll word my posts better in the future to save you having to post a reply
