I won this item, but BidSlammer says I did not because I didn't meet the minimum bid increment. I think this bug is related to the "bug" on the SlamIt pop-up window on the menu bar. If the opening bid is $10.00 and there have been no bids, the SlamIt pop-up shows a minimum of $10.25 (or whatever the next increment is) instead of the true minimum bid - which in the example above would be $10.

Hello,
This is very unusual. I checked our log files and eBay returned a minimum bid increment error. The following is eBay's response when the snipe was placed:
" The following must be corrected before continuing:
To enter a higher maximum bid, please enter more than US $22.52.
Item you're bidding on:
RING & PANEL SMOKEY GRAY TOOTHPICK HOLDER
Current bid:
US $9.99
Your maximum bid:
US $22.52
Increase your maximum bid:
US $| | | (Enter more than| US $22.52)"
The system got confused because there are actually 2 different messages, one that says you didn't meet the increment, and another that accepted the bid. I have never seen a message like that before. That was definitely an eBay glitch. I will check on the toolbar increment problem you reported.
