If the reserve price isn't met, the seller is not required to sell you the item, even if you were the high bidder.
If the seller chooses, they can send a "second chance offer" for you to buy the item, but only if they choose to.
If the reserve wasn't met, and the seller does NOT send the second chance offer, you are under no obligation to pay for the item. |

If you are the highest bidder on an item but have not met the reserve price, the seller has the opportunity to offer it to you for the bid you made after the auction has ended. |

if the reserve isnt met at auction end then you dont win,unless the seller decides to offer it to you for less than they wanted. |

If you don't meet the reserve price and you are the highest bidder no one wins and you pay nothing. If the auction closes without meeting the reserve price it is up to the seller to decide whether to put the item back up for auction again.
Previous auctions you bid on won't affect future auctions. Good luck! |

Reserve price prevents the item for being sold below the seller's minimum price.
In theory they can offer to sell it to you at your highest bid or lower their reserve.
In practice it is likely to go unsold. |

If you bit on an item and the reserve price is not met then the seller does not have to sell you the item. The seller can however offer you the item using the second chance offer at the price that you bidded upto. |

If you don't meet the reserve, you don't win the auction.
If you are very interested in something and there is a reserve price, e-mail the seller and ask them what the reserve is. The want to sell it for at least the reserve so they shouldn't have a problem telling you.
Good Luck. |

The reserve price is a set minimum price that the seller will sell the item for. For example, if I'm selling something and set a reserve price of $10 and you are the highest biddder at $9 then you have not met the reserve and do not win the auction. I think it is up to the seller if they want to then just accept the highest bid even if its under the reserve price, but they are not obligated to. In most cases the seller would not accept anything less than the reserve price, since that is the minimum they were looking for to begin with. |

If you are the highest bidder but do not meet reserve you have to bid again until you do meet it, otherwise you loose!
reserve is really silly, basically the seller doesn't want to sell their item for any less than certain amount. But they don't want to put you off, so instead of making the starting bid high, they set a high reserve. If it's not met the item does not sale. |

With the reserve price: Say I'm selling an item and put my reserve at $50 and you bid $20 and are the winning bidder so far but no reserve met. Say no one outbids you and the auction ends. Even tho you are the highest bidder the seller has the right to not sell it to you. If they agree and say ok I will let the item go for $20 then you can pay for it for that amount. Reserve is nice for when you want specific items to go at a certain price or higher but they do pay extra fees to list it that way also. |
