I have been using AS for several years now and think I am quite familiar with the basics. However today i am baffled. I placed a bid via AS and then went my merry ways, forgetting about the auction. When I just returned to my pc, I found a courtesy email from AS stating that I "did not win" due to the reason above (ie, I did not win). I never had that response before. Looking at the Ebay auction page, I noticed that the auction ended without any bid. Within My snipes in AS I can see my bid listed with my final bid clearly shown as higher than the starting bid and shown as Lost "did not win".
When would something like this happen? I have set my snipes as 15 seconds and never had any issues before.
