Newbie questions... help?

B bannedannaMember
Golly, all y'all's "deity" status is pretty intimidating... I mean, I'm a paper goddess, but what's that compared to conquering technology? Smile

I just joined AS and am having, on an admittedly mentally fuzzy day, a bit of confusion. I've set up a bid group with two items in it. I want to win either of them, but not both. I understand that with the numeral "1" in the amount box, as it is, AS will snipe the first, and if I win, cancel the second bid; if I lose the first, it will snipe the second bid.

Is that right?

Also, I've not found anywhere (ref: "mentally fuzzy" above) what AS's costs are. Can someone please refer me to the right page?

Thank you!

Don't quite agree with that definition for “stupid”, especially when someone on this forum applies that adjective to some ebay seller.

Is “stupid” a synonym for “fuzzy”? When I wake up, I’m sometimes mentally fuzzy, but I wouldn’t say I was necessarily stupid (work with me on this). My face is sometimes fuzzy, but not stupid (my face might be stupid-looking). And, even my vision is sometimes fuzzy.

Is the best way to avoid being stupid is to ask a question???

Thanks for the kind welcome. Smile

I don't find anything that says "Bid on the items in this folder until I win," but with slighly less mental fuzziness, it appears that the Bid Groups does cancel the rest after you win. I'll watch it anyway, since I don't want two of the thing!

Re fuzziness and stupidity: Fuzziness can (usually) be remedied by the application of a) enough sleep and/or b) enough caffeine. Stupidity, OTOH, tends to be, well, shall we say, a bit less amenable to treatment? Big Grin

Off to the coffeepot...

Rick,

Well, bannedAnna is kind of a pun on the kerchief, but it was given to me shortly after I got laid off from a job (without any cause whatsoever--within six months after, the group I'd been running went bankrupt).

I tend to be a little, shall we say, off the wall, and some people take offense at that. (I like to think of myself as kind, generous, diplomatic, and so forth, but I've been told I'm intimidating. So who knows?)

Door number three... What's behind that?

I think you’ll find a few off-the-wallers on this forum. The “offers” tend to be ignored by the non-offers. That’s not to say that you might not get the occasional rolly-eye (one of these little guys ==> Roll Eyes <==) in protest, but those are fairly harmless. I can’t remember anyone being permanently marred by a rolly-eye.
