Will I be bidding against myself?

pixelwarriorMember

I am new to Auction Sniper today and I already had a bid on an item in eBay, then I put a slightly higher bid into Auction Sniper for the same item. Assuming no-one else bids, will this mean that I will be bidding against myself? or will Auction Sniper realise that I already have a regular bid on that item??
If AS is not clever enough to realise this, then I might need to delete my AS bid for this item.

So that makes it clear on whether or not you'd get charged for the snipe, but I think Pixelwarrior's question was how does that affect the final value of the auction? In the example given, if you already have a bid on eBay for $10 and a snipe for $15...when the snipe goes through, would it raise the final value of the item to $15, or would it just be seen by eBay as you raising your proxy bid, in which case the item would still end at $10 assuming you were the only bidder?

AS bids as if it was you. It tries no matter what so AS won't know (or care) that you've already bid. Therefore your question could be worded 'What happens if I bid twice on eBay?'.

eBay recognises that you are the same person (whether you bid via eBay or AS). So, you're not bidding against yourself.

However, if you win the auction, AS will count it as a victory for the snipe and charge you.
