ok tell me if I'm doing this correctly.
I just created a folder, selected bid group and said bid until I win 1.
I moved my 4 snipes from the my snipes folder to the new big group, is this correct.

Thanks
Jim

Yes, that's how you do it.
I'll go double check just to make sure.

Yep, you got it I checked and it's set up properly.
In order to see those snipes before they go off you can change the folder drop down box on the My Snipes page to either: "All Snipes" or "The name of your bid group"
The folder drop down box is the one immediately to the right of the picture of a folder on the My Snipes page.

Thanks Sara,
I know it wasn't rocket science but I've seen post where people bought multiple items.
Thanks again

That is why it is important to check that "is this a bid group" when setting up the folder.
An easy way to double check is. When you show your ready to snip page. Besides the correct color, there will be a statement: folder/bid group
If it just says folder or has only the folder name:
STOP right there. Move all those snipes back to :My snipes. Then go to the manage folders and cancel the bad folder and start a new one being sure to check the "is this a bid group" If you always make sure that the item on your ready to snipe has the words
"folder/bid group" and all of those gizmos are in that folder, you will not be stuck with more than one. That is the fantastic feature of bid groups.

I think you'll see that they didn't specify a bid group.

Ya, forgetting to check the "big group" box when you are creating a folder can lead to you winning a whole lot of the same thing. Ouch
So please dont do it. I can see how it happens, and feel badly for them. Most sellers are understanding though and I think it always works out in the end. I bought 3 of something once a long time ago. Luckily I got such good deals on them that I just bought all 3 and then resold them on eBay
