Ok, new at this so just trying to learn. I just happened to watch as my snipe for a product was not placed. I had watched someone place a bid for $61 and my bid was at $62.02, yet as time expired I watched my bid disappear and the winning bid was someone else at $62. I had a eight seconad lead time. Please explain this.

We did snipe for you however your max bid wasnt enough. eBay requires you to bid at last 1 "bid increment" higher than the current bid. In this case you needed to bid at least $63 because their bid was $62, not $61 as you mentioned.

You can see the exact reply we received from eBay by doing this:

1.) sign in
2.) click my snipes tab
3.) change the "Show" drop down box to show "Snipes I've Lost"
4.) click the "Confirmation" button on the right side of the page for the snipe you lost.

When yo do that you'll see:

quote:
Your bid of 62.02 is less than the minimum bid. Please go back and bid at least $63.00. (Please type numbers and the decimal point (.) only)
