[quote="cw"]In general, for every auction I lose, my snipe bid never shows up in the bidding history - it's like I never bid at all. Why is that? Shouldn't my snipe be in there, even if I'm not the highest bidder in the end. It's annoying on infinite levels, but particulary because I wouldn't even know I lost the auction if I don't think to go manually check Ebay. Again, it's as though I never bid at all, so what's the point if my snipes aren't included in the bidding history even if I lose. Also, so what if I'm not the highest max bid, shouldn't my snipe - at any price- at the last minute circumvent some other assholes 'max bid'? I thought that was the whole damn point of sniping - to outwit idiot bidders who put in their jerkoff max bids. Item #204791988771[/quote]
