Conflict between my snipe and my eBay proxy bid?

It wont.

The best thing to do is not to bid on eBay at all. Just snipe. But if you also bid on eBay it should not outbid yourself.

Hopefully you are only sniping on eBay as well. Putting a bid in now for $200 may alert other bidders or snipers watching the item to raise their bids.

All you are doing is raising your eBay bid (assuming you are bidding under the same user ID in both places). It is the same as if you had entered an eBay bid, then raised it later.

But most of us would agree with Sara--DO NOT bid on eBay, especially at that price range. All you are doing is signaling interest and possibly cause others to take notice.

Yup.. the whole point of AS is to fool the other buyers into thinking there is not as much interest in an item as there is. If you place a bid it is like showing your whole hand. Those bidders can look up your past bidding habits and see what you usually pay for an item, when you ususally place you bids.. etc

In this case since your bid is already placed, go ahead and add the snipe if you are worried. In the future, Just snipe it
