| Your bid for that one was 62.69, not 66.69.
The auction was ending on Fri Jun 20 01:00:29 2014 PDT. You had a bid of 66.69, that you added on Thu Jun 19 08:08:30 2014, and subsequently edited it on Thu Jun 19 08:08:55 2014 and reduced the bid to 62.69. |

| This one I lost last week (131214785120) the winning bid was 62.01 and my bid was 66.69 and I got a message that was similar only it did not talk about the bid increment thing. Sorry I don't have more info maybe you could look at some kind of log for my account. | |

| Here is why this can be confusing - you can win by less than a full increment, but in order for your bid to be accepted by ebay, it has to be higher by a full increment than the current price.
You can easily check this by trying to submit a bid on an auction that already has bids. Make that bid less than full increment higher than the current price and try to submit it. eBay will not accept it. |

ENDED 66.69 66.50 USD BID UNDER ASKING PRICE: EBAY BID INCREMENT RULE NOT MET Why did I lose this auction? This has happened 3 or 4 times in the past week. I understand the bid increment rule but E-bay clearly states that you only have to win by a penny and have won with Gixen before for less than the bid incriment. I have lost other auctions in the last week by 4 or 5 dollars and got the same message. I have used Gixen a little bit for years with no problem. |
