It is possible - e.g. if current high bidder's maximum bid is 3.16, however the current high bid is 2.50, and another bidder places maximum bid of 4.00 or higher, the price will jump to 3.16 + 0.50 = 3.66. This is just one scenario of how this can happen, not the only one. |

| Thanks for your help
But I can't understand how there is a price of 3,66 is possible if the bid increment is 0.50 euro, because if there a 0.50 steps this price isn't possible... But I understood the problem why the programm did not bid. Thanks mz-fan |

| MZ-Fan,
Most likely your problem was not the same, eBay has a bid increment rule that dictates that a bid is not accepte unless it is at least one increment above the current auction price, in this range the bid increment is 0.50, see: http://pages.ebay.de/help/buy/bid-increments.html |

| Hi Folks,
I had the same problem. :cry: My bid was about 4 euro and the item was bought by 3,66 euro. At gixen.com I read "your bid was too low" BUT it wasn't!!! Where was the problem? Is it also the server? Thanks a lot |

| Radioactive_Slurpee, you did nothing wrong.
It seems that there was a time server problem around the time your snipe was about to be placed, and this caused it to be late. I am sincerely sorry about this - I hope you can find a similar item again. |
