Ebay, Reserve's and bids

Right, I'm now officially confused, not to be confused with unofficially confusion... But that's another story.

 

I was bidding on a Laptop on Ebay with a Reserve.

 

I bid £230 just before the end and it ended with be being the highest bidder, but not above the reserve, so the last bid for me was set at £185.

 

Does this mean that the reserve was above £230?

 

ie if the Reserve price was £210, would I have won the auction with a last bid set at £210?

 

Just wondering if that was the case or if a bidding war had to push it over the reserve.

 

Your's as alway, mr Conf.

It works just like you described it... If you put in a bid that exceeds the reserve (and no one else does), then yours will show as the highest bid and will match the reserve price.

 

If you put in a bid that doesn't meet the reserve, then that bid will only show if it's higher than an existing bid.
