"warning: max bid too low" ??

>> can those maximum bids be updated after the auction has started ? << - On "My Snipes" page, next to each snipe, you'll see a "Modify" box. Click on that to change.

>> and don't you usually see the message "max bid hasn't been met" on the item screen ? << - When you bring up "My Snipes", the bid amount may not be current. To insure you see the current amount, click on "Update items info". To avoid a delay in bringing up your "My Snipes" page, AS updates this information during off hours on newer auctions. The longer away the closing date is, the less frequent this information is updated. As the auction closing gets closer, AS updates this information more frequently. But if you're going to depend on the high bid amount from "My Snipes", it's best to use "Update items info".

Sorry for the delay. Hope that helps. Any other questions?
