Can I just check!!

If I have put a bid in for something on EBAY, I am the highest bidder, but it hasnt met the reserve, does that mean I dont win unless I bid over the reserve?

From ebay

Some auctions have a reserve price, a hidden minimum price, on their item.

How it works:

A reserve price is the minimum price a seller is willing to accept for the item.

As a buyer, you are not shown the reserve price, only whether or not the reserve has been met.

The seller is not obliged to sell the item if the reserve price is not met.

The winning bidder must meet or exceed the reserve price and have the highest bid.

Yeah youre right they have changed it to £50 min if you want a reserve on stuff

[Tanya]

bit daft really 'cause if you see anything with a reserve price you know you're gonna have to bid £50 or more.
