Lost snipes-reason given: "Ready"

It means we haven't put in the correct error code yet. Ignore it, until it changes.

I was the high bidder, but lost the auctions. The explanation on the emails sent to me after the auctions were over was "ready". Why weren't my bids placed?

I got the following message and was using a bid group - what does the error message mean and why did the bid not get placed? I would have won the item with my bid of $45.

This is the first time I've used a bid group and the first time a snipe hasn't worked for me.
