[quote="Cupid"][quote][b]live4godsarmy wrote:[/b] I did manually bid minutes prior to the end of the auction.[/quote] Why did you do that ? It can only increase the price that you eventually pay, so unless the aim was to increase the auction price, I can't see any reason to do this. It's especially strange if conducted via a different Ebay id, as may have happened here, but from what's been said I guess that would have been unintentional. That said the only way that manual bidding affects sniping is that Ebay will reject any later bid of the same (or lesser) amount from the same Ebay account. So, manually bidding at or above your snipe amount would block the later snipe bid from being accepted by Ebay.[/quote]
