  • ebay question;


    Okies so I bid on something I have the high bid, but its not my maximum bid.


    It says the reserve has not been met.   Does this mean the high bid that's there, or my maximum bid which the seller can't see.


    I haven't done this enough LOL

  • It means the seller has a reserve higher than your current bid. Like... if I'm selling a book and I want to get at least $25 for it and the highest bid on it is currently $2... then that's what's up and it won't sell until the reserve of $25 is met. Maybe your highest bid offer will meet the reserve, and then maybe it won't. Welcome to the wonderful world of auctioning!

  • ROFL. I meant to say $21 for drama's sake, but hey. Anyway. Did I make sense? I use Ebay A LOT for selling. But you know that.

  • I have one the same way... my max bid does not met the reserve and I have the current bid at a lower price.  Kinda was wondering the same thing... however, dh informed me tonight that the car has very little life left and we will be buying a new one shortly... no more ebay.  So, now, it is a GOOD thing I didn't met reserve. lol
