[quote="Rickajho"]Was there a reserve set on these auctions? If your bid matched or was higher than the reserve price the bid automatically goes to the reserve price. IE: If the current bid on an item is, say, $250.00, the reserve is $500.00, and you bid $600.00 your bid will automatically go to $500.00 - not $260.00. That will happen if you place the bid directly on the ebay site or if Gixen does it for you. You need to be mindful of this when bidding on any auction with a reserve set.[/quote]

The previous bidder obviously had a higher bid than your $720.00 - by all of $5.00 - so I'm not sure what your concern is. If you had placed that bid of $720.00 on the eBay site or done it via Gixen you would have had the same end result: Your max bid in this case of $720.00 would have been immediately placed against a previous proxy tthat was already higher than yours. That's the way it always works if there is a higher outstanding proxy bid at the time your bid is placed.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Rickajho</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sat Aug 27, 2016 11:09 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Was there a reserve set on these auctions?
