Bid not placed

redgeraniumMember

Hi,

This is my first visit to auctionsniper forum. I've been using this service for several months and have been very pleased with the results! However, I lost an auction today and would like some feedback. Auctionsniper informed me that I lost because my bid was too low, and indeed that was true. But when I reviewed the auction page, I noticed that my bid seems not to have been placed at all. My bid and password are not listed at all. Also, the auction did not turn up (even though lost) on my "My ebay" page following the close of the auction. The auction ended about 10 am this morning and I set it to be entered 8 seconds ahead of time- though I realize auctionsniper does its own adjusting of time based on experience. Thanks for any opinions.

Red Geranium.

Welcome to the forum.

An auction number would be helpful, but if the notice says bid too low and the bid does not appear, it would mean that when the software sent your bid in the last few seconds, the auction price was already higher than your bid.
Sorry you did not win, but another one will come along.

Thanks Chatter! Another one of those pieces of info that seems so obvious once someone tells you, of course!

Sorry you lost, but if you always set your snipe at the max you want to pay, if you loose, the other guy paid too much!

BTW,

to our forum!!

Thanks to you also, Mrs. M. Yes, the other person did go crazy at the end and pay entirely too much! Appreciate the warm welcome.

Sounds like auctionsniper is working so well you're just not used to being outbid anymore! That's a good thing I think

Thanks for the welcome Jakedduck. Love the graphics. You're right Sara B., I've been fortunate to win quite a few auctions.

Hi, My first turn too on the forum as a "newie". When you have had a bid and lost for whatever reason it should come up on "My eBay" under the heading "Items I didn't win", at least in the nearly a year I have been dealing with eBay, that is what has happened with my page.
I would like to say, that has been a pleasure reading the answers, which were friendly and helpful.

But only if the bid was placed and accepted by ebay; yours was probably too late or, more likely, too low and, therefore, not placed.

WELCOME

Sorry Dave,

I forgot that you are the USA and I am Aussie, there are many slight differences between our two "systems", so in future, better not say anything. The times I have lost (which luckily have been very few) I have had a bid in for at least 5 hours or more, but as I am getting older and not as fast, took a Sellers advise and jointed AusSniper, the best thing I ever did. I wish we had some of things you have access too. Cheers
