I prepared a snipe with 5 second lead, for an item with a current max bid of $60.99. I put a maximum amount of $200.
When time came - NOTHING HAPPENED. I lost the auction, and received an email from AS (copy and paste from email below)
I'm pretty upset to have lost this simple auction with no reason or explaination.
The auction went off without a hitch (was not retracted)

Now "my snipes" does not contain that snipe, but my calendar does make reference to it.

Suggestion: You might want to consider using Auction Sniper Bid Groups. With Bid Groups, you can bid on the same item from multiple sellers -- your bids will automatically be placed on each successive auction until you win one. This can help you avoid the disappointment of losing on an item you really want!
