I placed my $33.55 bid a few hours before closing. The auction closed at $20.50. What happened with Auction Item number: 260599367413 ?? Did the winner have a higher ceiling than my $33.55 ?? Thank You for the answer(s).

Hello Paul Bunyan,





I checked our log files on that snipe. Here are the results:





20:00:16 (snipe placed)


20:00:34(eBay response)


20:00:29 (auction ended)





This one was just a slow response from eBay. The auction ended before your bid was accepted. Unfortunately, there is not a fix for lag. Your bid was placed well before the auction ended. Lag is not a frequent issue, but it does happen sometimes.

John,


Thank You for your log research and reply.


I had forgotten about "lag".


Yes, it can happen.


Again, thank you, for your response.

Glad to help. Feel free to request additional information whenever there is something that needs clarification.
