[quote="fairest_merchant"]I set the snipe over an hour in advance and didn't change it until so many minutes before the auction. I did however refresh the page to see any changes in various other queued snipes and it is possible this cancelled my bid. I don't think refereshing the page should be tantamount to resetting all scheduled bids - I mean I didn't make any changes so this is redundant behaviour. It makes no sense since there are perfectly legitimate reasons for you to refresh the page particularly when you haven't made any changes. I lost an item I was rather fond of. BTW I didn't get any pre-warning about refreshing.[/quote]

Did I do anything wrong?
