There is never a text warning for this on the web page, however if you have email notifications switched on and you receive an email before the auction is due to end that means your bid is not going to be accepted by Ebay. All of this does take into account the bid increments. <br /> <br />Highlighting in red is while you are editing your bid using the web interface, my bad, sorry.</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="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row2" 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: Wed Dec 27, 2023 2:12 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Bid increments</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Quote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote"><span style="font-weight: bold">Cupid wrote:</span></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Quote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote"><span style="font-weight: bold">alekskbt wrote:</span> <br />Gixen prompts when bid is 'too low' should that not account for increments?</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />Was the snipe not highlighted in red once you had updated it ?</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />I just placed a marginal bid to try, it comes up as scheduled and the whole box is highlighted yellow. <br /> <br />22 h, 36 m, 52 s 486.00 480.00 GBP (25 bids) SCHEDULED</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>alekskbt</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: Wed Dec 27, 2023 1:49 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I'm new so may not have noticed any significance to colour. <br />The bid increments changed at this bid, rising by 10s. No alert to prompt that this was a range limit. <br /> <br />My email from Gixen was like a lottery notice that your numbers came up but then behind the scenes you had no valid ticket. <br /> <br />I would not have been deluded into a win if the email was consistent with the Snipes history. I came to the forum for answers that could have been in the notification. <br /> <br /> <br />email from Gixen at 1:50am <br />Item: 225922496284 <br />Status (main): BID UNDER ASKING PRICE <br />Your maximum bid: 622.22 <br />Current price: 609.91 <br /> <br />My first such notification. <br />Checked ebay, then looking around for answers, came to Gixen looking for support query, ended up posting my question at 9:51pm (PT?) <br />Found the explanation in the mySnipes table and eBay bidding increment ranges then posted my follow up clarification here 11min later. <br /> <br />ENDED 622.22 609.91 GBP (34 bids) BID UNDER ASKING PRICE: EBAY BID INCREMENT RULE NOT MET <br />Why did I lose this auction?

<br /> <br />AND could the bid too low warning when modifying a snipe not factor in the required increment at that level? <br /> <br />My own concern is not that great as I am learning the seller is running repeat auctions regularly, it is off season and some are closing low so I will continue playing in no rush.</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="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>mario</b></span></td> <td class="row2" 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: Wed Dec 27, 2023 11:19 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Bid increment in that price range is ?GBP 20.00. <br /> <br />See <a href="https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/buying/bidding/automatic-bidding?id=4014" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/buying/bidding/automatic-bidding?id=4014</a></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>Cupid</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: Tue Dec 26, 2023 5:32 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Bid increments</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody"></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Quote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote"><span style="font-weight: bold">alekskbt wrote:</span> <br />Gixen prompts when bid is 'too low' should that not account for increments?</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />Was the snipe not highlighted in red once you had updated it ?</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="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>alekskbt</b></span></td> <td class="row2" 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: Mon Dec 25, 2023 10:02 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Bid increments</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Just found answer so this becomes a suggestion <br /> <br />Status (main): BID UNDER ASKING PRICE: EBAY BID INCREMENT RULE NOT MET <br />Why did I lose this auction?
