right...
say an auction has a starting price of £5, and the reserve is £10 but you dont know that, and you bid £15.
as ebay bids automatically, it will bid £5 for you. if nobody elses bids it remains at £5.
when the auction finishes...does it say reserve not met, or does it automatically jump to £10 so you win the item?
hope that made sense.

yeah was selling a skyline cover and guy had bidded on it but he was the only one and it never reached the reserve so next time i listed it i upped the starting price and got rid of the reserve so that way people knew what to bid and it wouldnt happen again

if you bid £15 and reserve is £10 as you say, the bid will be £10 else it means that you haven't reached the reserve price with the £15...

cos he was the same guy that won it when it got relisted so i assumed that he did the first time but you may have a point there
