Sniper bid isn't the one that won, and I'm still being charged.

If you are still there - give me a minute.

****

Give me a couple of more minutes.

>> I won it on my own! << - This is a tough one. I'll try my best. You DID win on your own. That's a fact. No dispute. But you asked AS to place a snipe for you. AS used their resources to snipe for you. For what ever reason you had, you placed you own bid, and you also asked AS to place a snipe. AS did, so AS did their job. When someone does their job - they should expect to get paid. If you didn't want to be billed by AS, you should have deleted your snipe. (IMO)

Some people (I'm not accusing you) try to use AS as a backup for their own proxy bids or snipes. AS shouldn't be viewed as a backup. If they were, they wouldn't make much money.

This isn't intended to sound critical - but AS is in the business to place snipes - not act as a backup. No offence intended.

Let me know if I can help you any more - or what ever.

Yes, you should have cancelled the snipe on AuctionSniper.Com, if you had a successful bid pending on eBay.

This is part of the "game of bidding" on eBay that only comes with experience. That is when to use proxy bidding on eBay vs. when to use AuctionSniper.com.

For me, I generally like to use AuctionSniper, as I think the proxy bid idea on eBay needs a lot of improvement.

But yes, you should have paid for the snipe, because AuctionSniper.Com did perform the service as you had requested it to do so.
