Bid enhancement not working?

Tell AS support via Help Tab.

Why did you go against all advice and snipe 38.89? Sellers end the price at .99 to make it look cheaper, as a sniper you're advised to put a few cents/pence over the round figure to help you win. The fact you added 3 increments indicates you'd go over the 40 so why not 40.01?

Don't you just love getting unsolicited advice? Use the above link for help - use the forum if you want to justify or defend yourself.

The point is not my bidding habits - I've been making a living on ebay for 15 years and have been using Auction Sniper since 2004 - but that bid enhancement doesn't seem to work.

So why did you bid x.89 and not y.01?

Do speak to support - they'll be keen to help you I'm sure...

Region2 appears to be cognitive challenged.

You’ve made a mistake there, region2. “Sellers” don’t determine the price in an auction. They establish a starting bid (which is obviously obvious) but not “the price”. They can also do a reserve auction, but that doesn’t establish the price which can be higher. Now, they can do a BIN, but if they also allow bidding, then the BIN goes away and, yes, once again, they don’t establish the price. The only time they determine the price is a BIN only, but since that doesn’t allow bids, it can’t be sniped, so that also doesn’t apply.
