Ok I have 2 questions on reserve bidding.

#1. Reserve price is 90.00 which we can not see.
I bid 100.00.
Does it show 90.00 in the bid and reserve met.
Or the I00.00 in the bid and reserve met.
#2. Say I am high bidder but did not reach the bid even in the hidden part of the bid therefore I do not win.
Does the seller, is the seller able to see what my max was.

If not then I think I would list OBO. In case the hidden bid was only 1.00 short. I could still except.

Accept not except (and don't get me started on jibe and jive).

 

#1.-- It will show $100.

#2.-- Yes the seller can see all the maximum bids. Since bidding stops when each bidder reaches her maximum.

 

So, if you bid $90 and I bid $89 and the Reserve was $100, the high bid of $90 would be published during the auction. The bidding is also viewable and the seller (or you or I) could see my maximum $89 bid.

 

Are you planning to sell with a Reserve? Don't.

 

Many bidders find Reserves annoying and will back button away from the auction.

Remember that your opening price is a Reserve, in that no one can bid less than that.

 

Further, you pay a fee for the Reserve whether the auction is successful or not. So you are paying more to fail.

 

Open at a price that you would be comfortable with, and hope the price goes to a point that makes you ecstatic.
