Reserve Auction | Auction Sniper

marioMember

I am a newbe. If I place a bid with AS on an auction with a hidden reserve and no one else bids, will ebay adjust my bid to the minimum bid necessary to win? ie. If I bid with AS on an item, and no one else bids will ebay lower my bid to the hidden reserve price?

Thanks, great product!

AS sends your MAX bid to eBay. It's eBay that does the proxy and increment thing.

If your bid is equal to or greater than the reserve price you should win for the reserve price. If your max is still below the reserve, your bid will be displayed in the bid history as the starting price.

It may help you understand if you think of your snipe as a one time, placed at the last possible moment, proxy bid.

And,
