Question re: Ebay high bid vs. Snipe high bid Tue Jan 17, 2012 11:16 AM Quote

I'm sure this is probably a stupid question, but I hope you can answer me anyway.

If, for example, I place a high bid on Ebay in the amount of $20.00 on an item, but place a high bid in Myibidder on that same item in the amount of $25.00, what will happen if, for instance, someone outbids my Ebay $20.00 high bid? Will the item still snipe at up to $25.00 at the time I have specified? (And, assuming someone else has not bid up to my high on Myibidder of $25, will I therefore win the item if the snipe is placed at my specified time?)

You don't place a bid in Myibidder, you setup a snipe. The snipe is almost like a bid, but placed on last seconds.
So all eBay rules will apply.

If someone outbids your eBay bid $20, then someone else will be the highest bidder.
If the outbid was less than $25, you will win on last seconds.
If the outbid was higher than $25, you will loose.

Thank you, Sashka. However, I realize I misspoke. I do understand that an Ebay bid and the snipe are two different things. I also understood what you said.

However, my question (which I obviously didn't phrase very well) was: If I had placed a high bid on Ebay of $20, for instance, and then placed a snipe of $25 (just as a backup for myself in case someone came along at the very end of the auction and bid for the first time), assuming that I was the high bidder right before the end of the auction, no one else did, in fact, bid, and then my snipe went off as requested, would I wind up paying the higher price I had set for the snipe or does it recognize that I'm the same person? I hope this makes sense. IOW, if I had bid $20 and was the highest bidder and then my snipe came in at $25 at the very end of the auction, would I wind up paying the $25 I sniped at the end of the auction, or would it recognize it was the same account?

If your placed a manual bid $20, then you sniped at $25 -- your price will stay the same at $20 and will not increase if nobody else bid higher.
You can't outbid yourself on eBay. It will recognize this is the same account and will not increase your final price.

Thank you SO much. I believed that should have been the case, but I figured I had better check. Thanks again!
