I used the tool for the first time today. The final auction price was above my bid and I accept that I lost.
I am concerned however that I cannot see my bid and I am not convinced I would have won the item if my bid had been high enough.
I have been using sniping tools and EBay for years so I am no stranger to them.

Hello Michael,
Thank you for your question about this item. Your bid was not high enough to register at eBay. When we placed your bid, the cost exceeded your snipe value.
Thank you for taking the time to write in. Please let us know if we can provide any other assistance.
