Hi, I sniped an item, and final price was $255.31.

That's the final snipe price I allowed, so seems to be OK.

BUT, I am wondering why it did that, since the increment is $5.00 at that price level, so final price should've been $255.00.

Any ideas please?

Thanks!

P.S. I've looked at the bid history, and noticed that previous bid shows $251.06, not a whole dollar number either. Is that the cause of my bid to also go over a whole dollar amount?

You did not provide the item number so I can't check.

Anyway, the bid increment counts from the current bid at that moment, it's not necessary the previous maximum bid.
If your snipe was 255.31, but the current bid was 250.31 or lower, then your bid is acceptable even though the previous maximum bid of another bidder was 255.00.
