The other bidder has a maximum bid of $140. You enter a maximum bid of $150.
You would end up paying $142.50 ($140 + $2.50 ebay increment).
quote:
And is there any chance that you can still lose even if you have a higher maximum bid?
As long as you bid enough to satisfy ebay’s increment system, then the answer is “no”.

Lastly, what would happen if I set my snipe to 5 seconds but I bid myself at 9 seconds?
Ebay won’t allow multiple bids for the same amount from the same user. If your manual bid wins, AS will still charge you a fee, or use up one of your free snipes.
quote:
AS bidding at 35 seconds to adjust for lag but giving others a lot of leeway to counter bid.
It’s a possibility.
