How do I bid using Auction Sniper on Reserve Auctions?
In a Reserve auction, the seller has placed a minimum bid he’s willing to take for the item. You will know this by the words Reserve met, or Reserve not met next to the current bid amount. If your snipe meets the reserve, your bid will jump to that reserve. This happens the same way when you bid directly on eBay: we follow all eBay rules in bidding. If your snipe doesn’t meet the reserve (and you were the last or highest bidder), eBay will only display the next increment over the previous bidder. They will not display your max.
