winning bids

[magdemagman]

Can someone in the community help figure this one out for me.

I was bidding on a item and already had the highest bid, I set my maximum bid at £320:97.

At the auction end the winning bid was £318:20 but I was not declared the winner.

Your max bid was not high enough increment above winning one.

[magdemagman]

What I fail to understand the bid of £318:20 was placed with seconds left on the auction, so surely to be the winning bid it would have to be higher than my £320:97 maximum.

What's the listing number?

You probably need to add the  buyer protection fee to the £318.20 before you compare it to your max bid.

You need to allow for the buyer fee when placing a bid.

your bid is including the fee when placed and wasn't high enough,the winning bid was £331.17  incl. £13.08 for buyer protection.

The maximum amount you were prepared to pay was £320.97 the winning bid was £331.17 inc fees,the winner was prepared to pay more.
