Thank you Mrs.M are Proxy Bids only used if you bid directly on ebay? Do Proxy bids mean anything at all when bidding with AS because I thought bidding on sniper is done electronically within the last few seconds so if I get this right Proxy bidding doesn't mean anything on sniper. So the best thing to do is just bid the maximum I can afford or I am willing to pay for. Thank you for any information given.
