Duplicate Snipes Not Being Detected

Yes it would snipe twice. We allow this because some people want to do it as part of their sniping strategy.

They put in one low snipe at say 20 seconds. To try and thrwart manual snipers. Those manual snipes would then theorhetically enter just a bid to outbid their low snipe.

And since manual snipers only have time to do 1 snipe they then have their second AuctionSniper snipe go off with say 4 seconds left with their true high max snipe price. Leaving the manual snipers no time to rebid.

To be honest I think it's always best to just bid your max at the last possible time since giving other bidders any inidication that you are even going to be bidding tips them off that they need to bid higher.

I suppose we could still give a warning that that item already has a snipe entered though.

Thank you

Thanks Sara.
I always Snipe my max bid. The duplicate was the exact same snipe twice over for some weird reason. So it will be helpful to be notified if there already is a snipe when another is accidentally being applied. Thanks.

Sara - Yesterday I said how great it was to see the bright yellow on the screen when our snipe is underwater to the current bid price! Tonight I see an upcoming auction where I'm set to snipe at $98.98 and currently it's $228.50, BUT, there's no bright yellow band and message telling me so! Are we having trouble with the new gizmo? It'll be an invaluable feature when it's working full time!

We check once a day during the first few days of the auction, and then more frequently as it gets closer to ending. Given time the yellow warning and an email should come to you letting you know you've been outbid.

Thank you
