The point is that I have made a maximum bid much higher than the current price. I can't make a direct bid, but is asked to change my max bid...? |

Strange... "If a bidder's maximum bid meets or exceeds the reserve, the bid will be automatically raised to meet the reserve. " It doesn't work that way for me. |

but that's the way it is, over here at least it works. If a reserve price hasn't been met yet, you have to raise your maximum bid. |

Ah. I understand. My max prise is still below the reserve price, then. But it strange that the current price aren't raised to my maximum bid. |

The auction just works in the same way as a normaL auction without a reserve price. The reserve price just gives the seller the right not to sell the item when the price is too low at the end. |

If you win something for that much money on eBay, you'd be crazy not to use their escrow service for your payment. That's just common sense. |

actually reserves "ARE!" bullshit! they defeat the WHOLE purpose of an auction: the luck of the draw...like stocks...i place an item on ebay hoping the market for my item at that point in time is high, thus creating a decent profit, or braking even...I'f i'm not so lucky, i get less then what i payed for...the luck of the draw. but with a reserve price set, i don't have to play the "stakes" game, and let my little pussy ass heart fill with greed, and lame-ness as i sit back and wallow in my tiny ass 12 yr old piece of shit heart taking crak. it's the WHOLE purpose of an auction: the luck of the draw...MAYBE i'll find someone who really wants this item, and'll bid till they win it...or may it'll sit there ill the last minute, till someone bids a low and shitty bid, and i lose money... |

agreed, they should just set the auction at the minimum price they would accept. |

I never bid on auctions with reserves. |
||||||||

|
bidding *just* before an auction ends would probably be my tactic as well....sucks for those who missed the item, but that's how it works and everyone can think of that. |

as well you shouldn't! just caught another ebay auction with a reserve!!! fuckerz! |

Reserves are dumb. I think the opening bid should just be the what the reserve would be. Fuck this middleman bullshit. |
