Missed Snipe - what happened?

murphMember

I tried a snipe, but somehow it registered me as not having a high enough price -- But I exceeded the final sales price by a significant margin -(mine was $175.55 and it sold for $157.51) any idea what happened?
About 10 minutes before it closed, I raised my snipe to the $175.55 - this was after I noticed that it was going over $150, about 2 minutes before it actually closed.
The ebay item was:
7106539426

Note: I had manually put in a couple of bids about an hour before it closed - that was when I then went to snipe it at a much higher price.

The auction ended at 17:25:24. Unless I’m missing something, the bid didn’t go over $150 until 17:23:40, which is a little less than 2 minutes before the auction ended. Changes to snipes need to be in 2 minutes before closing, as AS queues up it's snipes then.

P.S. The faq says changes must occur 3 minutes before auction end.
