I'm new and have a question. I put a maximum bid

Your $100.00 snipe is like a proxy bid, only it is placed (the portion of the $100.00 needed to top the highest bid, if it is high enough to top it)one time, at the last possible moment. This avoids bidding wars. The snipe will never show until it is actually sent to eBay to be placed.

Should my maximum show up on ebay? How can i be sure it will work?

I know Jesus, he is in my heart for many years.

p.s it is telling me confirmation is not available. What does that mean?

Not until the snipe is placed, and even if you win, your miximum bid mostly likely will not be in the bid history.

Where are you seeing this?

On the snipe page that shows what i am bidding on, where it shows 'status'. I clicked it & it has a 'show confirmation button' clicked it, yhen it says, there is none.

The “View Confirmation” will bring up the response that AS receives when it places your snipe. Typically, that is only helpful to provide additional information should you not win the auction. Also, it may take a little time after the auction is completed before that’s available. If the auction hasn’t ended, then having a status of “Ready” means you are set.

Here's a list of most of the status messages:

Sorry, Mike.

Thank you, that was very helpful. I sure do appreciate it.
