[quote="Cupid"]When the snipe bid amount is less than will be accepted by Ebay, taking into account the bid increment rule, it already highlights that snipe in yellow.[/quote]

As bids get higher on an item bid increments also increase. See list below. This means you can set gixen to place a bid that is not valid and lose the auction. <br /> <br />Request: Gixen should filter the bid input and check if it conforms to the ebay increment. Error handling should report to the GUI that the bid does not conform to the increment required by ebay based on the then current bid price of the item. The user must then enter a valid amount into the GUI. <br /> <br /> <br />ebay's official page : automatic-bidding?id=4014 <br />Bid increments <br />When someone else places a bid, which is lower than the maximum bid, we'll place a slightly higher bid on your behalf. The amount the bid increases by is known as a bid increment. Bid increments are smaller when the bid price is low, and larger in higher price brackets. <br /> <br />Current price Bid increment <br />ÂGBP 0.01 - ÂGBP 0.99 ÂGBP 0.05 <br />ÂGBP 1.00 - ÂGBP 4.99 ÂGBP 0.20 <br />ÂGBP 5.00 - ÂGBP 14.99 ÂGBP 0.50 <br />ÂGBP 15.00 - ÂGBP 59.99 ÂGBP 1.00 <br />ÂGBP 60.00 - ÂGBP 149.99 ÂGBP 2.00 <br />ÂGBP 150.00 - ÂGBP 299.99 ÂGBP 5.00 <br />ÂGBP 300.00 - ÂGBP 599.99 ÂGBP 10.00 <br />ÂGBP 600.00 - ÂGBP 1,499.99 ÂGBP 20.00 <br />ÂGBP 1,500.00 - ÂGBP 2999.99 ÂGBP 50.00 <br />ÂGBP 3,000.00 and up ÂGBP 100.00</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> </table>
