Reply to "Lost on another item!!!"

OK, I just had the same experience. I'm upset too, but I'm not blaming the system, I discovered to my misfortune I was locked out of changing my bid.

OK, tell me how to get around it. Can I place another snipe? If there is not a work around I see this as a fatal flaw in AS. My experience is as follows: Item at $2.50 for 4 days, I bid $25 max. Changed my mind and went to $33 just in case. 20 minutes left to bid price is $4.75. 10 minutes price is up to $11.50. I raised my max to $42 to be safe. Item stays at $11.50 until 2 minutes to go and jumps to $33. At this point I want to raise my bid but can't. I wanted to go to $50 but was locked out and item sold for $48.

So what am I supposed to do? I usually use AS when I'm not around to watch the auction, I find this a shortcoming.
