Auction Sniper and Dutch Auctions???

If you are bidding on 1 item then bid your max.

If you are bidding on multiple quantity in the dutch auction remember that the rules are the same as on eBay. You would essentially be bidding vs yourself. i.e. If the seller has 5 quantity. And you bid for 5. With a max bid of $100 and the current price is $25 you would end up winning all 5 and paying $100. So be careful is all I'm saying.

Can you explain this a little further?

I've placed one bid on an item labeled "Dutch auction," and there are two items available. Can I leave this item in my AS bid group? I'm a little confused by your "be careful" advice.

Thanks!

If you're bidding on only 1 in the quantity field dont worry.

If you're bidding on two then read eBays site on how Dutch auction bidding works as your bid will be the same as on eBay.

Thanks! I'm only bidding on one.

Well, let's put it this way: Both items are listed together (i.e., "Quantity: 2") and I've placed one bid, the minimum. Is it okay to leave one snipe via AS "alive"?

Thanks Sara! I actually had to change my bid to both items that were up for auction. Another bidder at the last moment chnged from one to two items to muscle me out and AS sniped him at the end for both!! I love this place!!!
