I entered a snipe for two different auctions of the same item (I need two of the same things.) Will the snipe cancel the second item or will I still be able to bid on my second request after the first auction ends?

to our forum!It depends on how you set them up. If you just set up two individual snipes, then each will act independently of the other. If you will furnish a little more detail for us such as are they in a bid group, etc. it will be helpful.
Mrs. M is right.
The only way a win will cancel another snipe is if they are in a 'Bid Group'. I don't know of anyone that has set up a bid group by accident, so you are all set. (as long as you win both).
Now if you DO set up a bid group, you could put 5,10,20 or more auctions in it and tell AS you want to win two. After your two wins the rest will be automatically cancelled, and no worry.

Welcome, and good luck.

Hi, Puppy!
Hi, Mrs. M!
This is where a bid group really shines. Set up the bid group and tell it how many you need. Then just snipe as many of those gizmos as you can. Put them into the folder/bid group. It will keep trying until you get the number of them you set the group up for.
I have used it a lot like that lately.
