My snipe didnt go through

What was your snipe amount?
Remember your bid has to be at least one bid increment above the current price.
(per eBay rules, not AS)

and to the forum !

my snipe was $31.53, the winning snipe was $31.01

guess thats where I went wrong

Interesting auction! Lots of activity in the last 5 minutes of the auction! -- 7 bids, price climbs from $20.50 to $31.01. (Bet the seller was happy to see that!)

Your snipe would have had to be at least $32.01 in order to be placed, otherwise it would have been considered "Bid too low".

If it's any conciliation, 'montauk' STILL could have won the auction. We don't know what the max bid was... it could have been $35 or more.

Wait a minute! Your snipe was an odd amount ($31.53 vs $31.00 or $31.50), which is good. Your snipe at $31.53 SHOULD have been the maximum you were willing to spend, to possibly win you would have had to exceed that maximum (by bidding at least $32.01). Unfortunately auction circumstances of current bid price vs. bid increment prevented your bid from being placed, BUT you didn't end up spending more than you wanted for the item.

You didn't do anything "wrong"! I think you did just about everything right. This is an auction, and you win some, lose some, even WITH sniping!
Chin up & better luck next time!

Lol

I think they meant 'went wrong' in trying to figure out why bid was rejected as to low.

But... If that's not what you meant, Jabber is right, you screwed up and did EVERYTHING RIGHT !

thanks everyone... i just figure I wasnt meant to have that item!

Yes, lots of bids at the end of the auction...wonder how many were trying to snipe!

...loves company!

Whyld,

I just had the same thing happen to me tonight. My snipe was too low (by about $0.60) to place!

It's an item that comes up fairly regularly, so I'll catch it next time around!

Snipe on!
