COMPLETED STATUS SAYS I DIDN'T WIN

I have a paypal account and I won this auction so why does the status say I didn't win???

Hello Barbara,

Hmm... We received two messages when we tried to place the snipe.

"To enter a higher maximum bid, please enter more than US $222.50.

Important: This seller requires you to have a PayPal account before you can bid on this item."

Are you quite certain that you won the item? :-)

I have already paid for the item and the status shows shipped. Seller states "enjoy".

Hello Barbara,

I looked closer at this, and you're right, of course, but here's what is so unusual. The first bid went through OK and returned, "You're currently the highest bidder."

But then we placed the second bid (as advertised), and that returned this page:

The first error is expected since you're already the high bidder. What's so odd is that the error is saying you haven't linked your PayPal account yet. But yet, the first bid could not have gone through if this were the case.

So it's probably a weird fluke.. in 15 years we've never seen that!

Anyway, we corrected the status but we didn't charge for the snipe. Thanks for letting us know.
