Reply to "PLEASE HELP MY SNIPE WAS CANCELLED BY THE SELLER??"

AS submits bids a few seconds before the SCHEDULED end of auction. There's no way a buyer could "cancel a bid" at that point. If the sale was ended early, when AS entered the bid, the auction was over.

An AS snipe is not entered until a few seconds before the scheduled End of Auction. That may be too late if the sale is ended early. OTOH, in that situation, it's likely that 1) something bad happened to the item while the auction was underway (lost, damaged, stolen), or 2) somebody just HAD to have the item and offered to pay an exhorbitant price if the seller would end the auction early and sell it to him.

In neither instance would a "normal" bid have kept the auction alive 'til the scheduled End of Auction. Sounds like your not winning the item had nothing to do with AS.
