I cancelled a snipe today, and I'm being billed a fee based on the price I won by bidding directly on Ebay. I don't think this is the only item either. Is there some way I can tell whether AS bid?

You have to cancel the snipe at least 5 minutes before the end of the auction - did you?

If it was after the cutoff time,you CANNOT cancel. It is impossible.It is locked. If it was before, then your message should tell you whether it was placed or not. Since the system is automated, I really doubt a person would get charged if a snipe was not placed. If you have doubts, write support. I am sure they can show you.
Not true, according to the following text from the link that I left in my prior post:quote:Originally posted by Mrs.M:

In the event that you have not refreshed the page, and the Cancel and Modify links still exist for a snipe that is ending in less than 5 minutes, any changes made will not adhere.
The Cancel link is still available and hasn't been replaced by "a lock", but it won't cancel the snipe.
What I meant was, after the cutoff you cannot cancel. The snipe has been sent and it will not allow you to do so. Whether or not you have refreshed, you still cannot cancel it as it is locked out, button there or not.
