Max snipe bid was $80, lost to someone who bid $80 before me, lost auction. Dashboard says Bidslammer thought I won and deducted a credit. Asking for that credit refund.

Hello Peter,
Thank you for your question about a snipe showing as a win. We credited your account as you requested. We also updated the snipe to its correct status in your account.
This occurred because of an intentional failsafe we have in place for a nice situation: Where your bid equals the starting price but came in after someone else's. eBay returns "Success" for some reason.
Please note: As a rule of thumb, if you are bidding at the starting price, it's always best to set the delay time at least 7 seconds, if not more. This is to ensure that your bid comes in FIRST for that particular situation.
We hope we have resolved this to your satisfaction. Please let us know if we can help with anything else.
