It's been quite some time since I've been in and I confess, I haven't kept up with the boards, but this is the first time in the last few months of Holiday (& post Holiday) shopping that I've had a problem.
I have my Active Snipes page up, my snipes are all listed there -- some of them, however, are giving me the yellow "warning" bar telling me my intended snipe is below the min. necessary to bid. This is not true! The "ready" label on the right turns red and everything, but the listing within Active Snipes still shows a "current" value below my intended bid.
So, I tried "update" -- still shows that my intended snipe is higher than the current price and what would be the minimum bid.
I even checked by logging into eBay and looking up the item. My intended snipe is still definitely higher than the current price and what would be the minimum bid.
Occasionally it's even snipes that are a couple days away, on auctions that still have NO bids on them. My "intended snipe" was a high enough dollar value to get "congratulations your snipe has been added", but (with no change to the auction itself) the value is now below the minimum necessary bid?
My chief concern here is that I will, when these auctions actually come up, lose because my snipe will not get placed. Does the system not even try to place the snipe bid, if it thinks the snipe is below the (then current) auction price?
i.e. Actual auction is at $0.99. My snipe is $5.85. My Active screen is telling me that my snipe is too low! Will it still try to place the snipe, in which case, I would win? Or will it, erroneously, refuse to attempt the snipe because it believes my intended bid is already too low?
Thanks in advance for any clearly explicated advice! (so far I've just been going in and modifying my snipes to some other value to clear the error -- but I'm sniping because I won't be online to make a final moments bid on these! I want my snipe placed!)
