If the current price is $30.29 then Ebay will not accept a bid lower than $31.29 because the bid increment in that range is $1:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/bid-increments.html
The status that you should have received was 'BID UNDER ASKING PRICE' ('OFERTA BAJO PRECIO QUE PIDE' in Spanish) which reflects the situation exactly.
This is normal operation and covered in the FAQs provided on the FAQ tab above:
| Quote: | I entered a bid of $101.00, but the winning bid was $100.00 and Gixen says BID UNDER ASKING PRICE. What happened?
According to eBay bid increments rules, your bid had to be at least $2.50 higher than current highest bid. See bid increment rules (US dollars, may be different for different currencies). |
I recommend that you read the rest of the FAQ page, it contains useful information.
