Hi and thanks for your bidding system.

I have a problem with europeans ebay bids (ebay.fr f.e) : my bid should have won but instead i get the following answer :

"The following bid was placed per your request:
eBay XXX_snip_XXX
Amount: 240.00
Status:
Can not bid (3): Enter EUR 238.00 or more

AFAIK, 240eur is > 238 ;) - btw the step was 1 eur and delay set to 8 seconds.

Is there a currency (USD/EUR) problem with the web site version ?

Thanks,

Regards,

av.

Hello avaneste,

I'm sorry you missed your snipe.
I'll explain what happened in a moment..

There are no currency issue, because bids are using the currency whatever is default for that particular auction and no conversion is done.
But there is a certain requirement when you can change your bid. I suggest not to change it when there are 2-3 minutes or less left until the auction's end.
Your snipe was lower originally, but you changed it when there were few minutes left.
Please check this FAQ section for more details:

Thanks.
