First off, I am fully aware this is my own damn fault
but I though I would post it for anyone who did not take the time to read all of the operating instructions on ebay.
There was a knife that I really wanted on the auction site with a starting bid of $50.00, which is not that bad. I decided to make a rather large max bid of $200.00 so I would not have to check back as often for a status. The daily reports are not so daily sometimes.
Most of the auctions I have been involved with did not have a "reserve" set. In these cases your bid will only go up if others bid against you.
However, if a "reserve" is set and your maximum bid is higher than the reserve your current bid automatically goes to what that person's reserve was
in this case it was $160.00
I kinda shot myself in the foot, since the auction probably would have never gone that high in the first place. I went back to read more on ebay, and sure enough it was stated on the first page, god I felt stupid.....
Just though I would post this for everyones information.
