Hello to all, I am confused about how sniping works with an auction who's reserve price hasn't been met. I did a search and read the previous responses and understand that the snipe will only make 1 bid. But something else confused me. Said "AS will place 1 bid, full snipe amount". My first snipe with AS is for tonight for this item, opening bid $.99, 7 bids later only $13.50. I suspect the reserve is $30+ based on previous similiar. My max is $43.33 which is about average. Here's what I don't understand. Say bidding doesn't reach reserve will my snipe bid be "full snipe amount" $43.33? Or say reserve is met, again "full snipe amount" does my bid go in at my max? I really do want this item, I have it's match. Seller hasn't sold much in past, currently selling low price items, under $5 so can't get a read there. Any advise anyone can pass on I would be very grateful. Will check back. Thanks! Helen
