[quote="Cupid"]Well you haven't specified the scenario enough for me to state definitively, so I will have to make some further assumptions, so that I can:

1> Both automated snipers are set with the same maximum bid value.

2> The different automated snipers are bidding for different eBay accounts so they are truly bidding against each other (actually this doesn't affect my answer but may affect the final price the item is sold for).

3> There are no other bids placed in the last 6 seconds, either by automated or manual snipers.

In that case the bid placed by Gixen will win at the maximum value specified by the user (which is the same as the later bid as per assumption 1). This is because it was placed first and the rule on eBay is that if two bids of the same amount are placed on eBay by different bidders the first is the winner.

If you don't like my further assumptions give me a different scenario and my answer might be different.

What I can definitively say is that a bid that meets the increment rule and is higher than any other accepted bid will always win the auction on eBay no matter when any of the accepted bids are placed and a bid that is rejected by eBay will never win an auction.[/quote]
