[quote="Cupid"]The purpose of sniping is to place a bid in the last few seconds of an auction. A bid can only be placed if it's acceptable to Ebay though, I see from your screenshot that your snipe bid amount was 3 USD, which if you set it when the auction price was $10.50 was never acceptable as a bid on Ebay and certainly not at the end of the auction when the price was a lot more than that. In that case you wouldn't expect to see your bid in the history as it would have been rejected by Ebay. The 'BID UNDER ASKING PRICE' status that Gixen gave the snipe after the auction had completed is your indication that the bid was too low to be accepted. If you had viewed the snipe on that interface before the auction had completed it would have been highlighted in yellow, that's an indication that the bid is already below the price that would be acceptable to Ebay. This is exactly what you should always expect when your bid amount is too low.[/quote]
