Reply to "Lost auction when BIN is hidden !!"

hrMember

AS says it's an eBay "feature" - it will always reject a bid that is higher than the BIN price even if a bid has been placed. However, given that eBay has changed the rules (on the USA site at least) which allows BIN prices to exist right up to the auction end in some cases, this is clearly a problem for snipers.

I am in the UK and was bidding on an item in the USA, and some of the categories have this new eBay faciity. It was initially only on the motoring section but has been extended to other categories now. So might be an idea to bear this in mind when placing a snipe given the seller can lower the BIN price after you've set up your snipe !!!!
