I inadvertently pasted the item number in the snipe bid amount box, and it was posted as a $10 billion bid!

There should be some safeguard against posting ungodly bids in error! Perhaps it should ask me to verify that I entered a bid of over a set amount, like $100, or whatever I specify as my limit in my profile, to make sure that I didn't misplace the decimal point!

That's a good suggestion. I'll see what I can do about it.
Thank you.
