whapt happens if i ?

The next increment. Think of a snipe as a one time proxy bid. A S places it at the last possible moment and Ebay uses enough of the bid, assuming you have bid high enough, to win.

First, Welcome to the forum - the others will no doubt do it with fireworks display later!

Auction Sniper will bid whatever you set as your maximum (in this case $150) However, the ebay system will only bid the "extra" necessary amount to win the item. The "extra" amount varies according to the price of the item. In this case. For example in the UK an item between £60 - £150 would need a bid of an extra £2 to win the item. I expect it is a similar amount in $

I hope that helps

Lol, camera, it was a tie!!

from me too.

Yes... biding through AS (except for the timing) is just like bidding at eBay. If fact, if your 'instamail' option is not checked, nobody will know it's not you placing the bid.

I saw this post and thought I'd snick in while you were all abed! No such luck!

Serious question - could we not organise a thread with the "best of the best" of the replies to the standard questions that arise. Then all one has to do is refer newcomers to the relevant answer.

Or is that too clinical? It doesn't mitigate against a friendly welcome, but it would cut down on needless repetition.

What do you all think?

that should be "needless repetition".

I really must learn to t%^yP#e!

Second thoughts "I'll edit the last message"

and I did!

One learns something new every day!

I think it sounds good.....however...what we have found in the past is they don't-won't search and read. I guess when it seems it is coming from your mouth via a one on one, they grasp it better! It would have to be setup and locked, you realize, or it would get quickly buried in other posts. I just don't know, Camera. I understand your reference to repetition, but I am not postitve if there is a true "cure". You could certainly bring it up in My Snipes suggestions and see if it flys.

Maybe they could replace that

• Place your bid exactly when you want … seconds before the auction closes!

with

• Places your bid just like you do on eBay - seconds before the auction ends!

on the home page?

Then we would get a tonne of "Why use AS over Ebay?" questions BJ

We have spoken of a similar suggestion before and it didnt fly back then.

Camera - you could just compile a notepad page of the answers you like, then just *quote-copy-paste* them in your reply.

I had something in mind like the following:>>Site Plan<< that would link to each existing answer. All the explanations are in the forums, it just needs a clear pathfinder.

This menu system was picked off DHTMLCentral.com as I thought it would be a great idea for simplifying a complex subject.

See what you think - it would be relatively simple to adapt.

thanks alot everyone.
im welcome to be aboard captain thank you all again.

Good luck to you in your sniping!

Camera, I'm afraid I have a limited imagination. The menu is pretty neat,but I have not the slightest clue how it would be adapted here and be read anymore than help is now.
