Sometimes your maximum bids are a little higher than the current winning bid but you still don’t win the auctions because of the bid increment rule. For example if the current bid of an auction is $30 and your maximum bid is $30.58, you still don’t win the auction because in this case eBay required a minimum bid of $30 + $1(bid increment) = $31 to win the auction. In this case PowerSnipe server should send you an email about that. Please go to http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/bid-increments.html for more information about bid increment. eBay bids follow bid increments. Your bid must be equal or higher than the next increment to be recorded. These increments are variable depending on the current bid.
