Question from a Newbie | Auction Sniper

marilyn8lrMember

How does AS handle it if two of its members are bidding for the same item? Do they notify us or just let us go ahead and bid our highest amount? Then the highest gets it, but most likely they pay their maximum abount, huh? (Depending on how much the 'other' bidder put as their maximum)

Thanks - I just joined today and plan to experiment. So far, it sound slike a wonderful way to bid as I have lost itmes in the last seconds.

Yes, if two AS users were bidding on the same item, the highest bid would win, whether it be the snipers, or someone else.

In the extremely unlikely event that they bid the exact same amount, the bid that reached eBay first would win, assuming no one else bid higher.

It is a GREAT way to bid!

See you all in a couple of days. Got to make a 1000 mile run to pick up something I won. Going to leave in a few minutes.
