No Soren, the only bid I have to beat is the last registered bid...
If you have a max bid limit of $200.00 but the current REGISTERED bid is only $120.00 the next minimum bid according to EBAY is say 121.50...
All I have to do is beat the 120.00 with a snipe bid of 121.50...the system doesn't have enough time to register MY bid..then go and get your counter bid...
Sorry but thats the way it works...I have been sniped pleanty of times...thats why I learned to snipe...now I usually get something if I really want it...but it HAS to be at the 10 second mark...I do it by hand and you need several windows open at one time...And NO I did not just win a low Profile seat
