Bid below minimum | Auction Sniper

Guest

I tried to place a max bid on an item for $61.55. The current bid on the item is $52.01 with a $1.00 increment to the next bid. AS refused the bid as "Below the minimum bid" What gives? I rechecked the item and no further bids had been placed and the item number was correct.

I'll answer my own complaint. The last bid was an hour prior to my trying to place a snipe. Ebay however had not updated the bid to it's current value of $79.01. Thus the message that the bid was below minimum. I discovered this by once more returning to the item after had I had posed my question.

Ebay's delay in updating can be frustrating - you see a Rolex watch for peanuts, click on it only to find that it's increased to Rolls Royse proprtions since it was last indexed.

It's the same when you're selling - you place an advert only for it to not appear in searches for several hours. Grrrr!
