[quote="whitneysorrow"]I just read through my post above and realized that my bid was indeed not $1 more than the winning bid of $25.49. But the winning bid was ALSO not $1 more than the previous bid of $24.99. So why did they win the auction? I'm now utterly confused. Thanks again, Whitney[/quote]

It seemed fine, the countdown was working and the status of my bid was active. Then the auction ended on time (not early) and was won by a bid of $25.49 (the starting price was $24.99.) <br />I clicked the "why didn't I win this auction" link on my gixen page and it just routed me to an ebay page explaining bid increments. Which for this price range is $1, so my bid increment should have been sufficient. <br />Why wasn't my bid placed? It doesn't show up on the bidding history. Why didn't I win this auction? <br /> <br />Auction in question: <br />offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=110580522043 <br /> <br />(I am new to Gixen and pretty new to ebay, so the answer to this may seem very obvious to you more experienced gixen/ebay-ers, so please forgive my newby-ness :) <br /> <br />Thanks in advance for any help, Whitney</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>Forrest Freeman</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: Tue Sep 07, 2010 10:48 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Same thing here</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Actually this just happened to me too.

Gixen reported "Bid Under Asking Price" but on Ebay it looks likes the bid went in and I was out-sniped 3 seconds later. This normally doesn't report as a "Bid Under...". I realize that this wouldn't affect winning or losing the auction but it's the first time I have seen Gixen report incorrectly. <br /> <br />Are you still recommending against reducing the bid time to 3 seconds versus the 6 second default? <br /> <br />Thanks</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> </table>
