Bid Under Asking Price?

[Ollie]

Hello,

I was just ondering why this bid did not work.. I entered a bid on gixen for this item 280826416446 for $180 and the item sold for $172.50. Gixen claims that my bid was under asking price but when I click the link that supposedly tells me why, it says the bid increment should have been $2.50. Now, if my maths is correct, I would have 3 bid increments in hand so why did it not bid? Am I missing something here? It's not a massive deal but I'd like to know what happened so I can avoid it next tine..

Cheers,
Ollie

Ollie,

That auction ended at AU $213.50 not $172.50, have you provided the number of the auction that had the 'Bid Under Asking Price' status or is it that Gixen reported the final price as $172.50, it sometimes gets that wrong but it does not affect the result.

Hi Mark,

Oh wow, you're right.. Blonde moment there by me. Gixen was reporting it ending at 172.50 but you're right, eBay has it finishing at 213.50. Sorry about that and thanks for your help
