the bot can't understand the .0 yet. That is why it is described in the usage.

format has to be 1.0 or 0.01

Different countries, different habits.
AND he apparently changed his bid. As this is the blockchain, the bot will ignore edits on the frontend. If a bid was misplaced it can be annulated by commenting to the misplaced bid "revoke bid".

We are working on it to make the bot understand different habits...

Thanks for the personal reply and the information. I tried to see where the edit was exactly in the blockchain from the user and I guess they were just as surprised when they seen the bid happen like that. Still really enjoy the @SteemBay system, though not had an item sell yet on it yet, I have used it and didn't run into this issue before, so that is good it is not an issue that happens too often hopefully.

happens only if people don't respect the needed formats or edit their comments... this is the blockchain ;-)
There ARE no real edits.

Thanks for your usefull info.
Good luck with the education of the robot.
Regards.

You can see on the blockchain https://steemd.com/steembay/@cryplectibles/steembay-auction-8-steem-monsters-fire-red-cards-3-commons-5-rares-no-reserve the user @mrviquez edited their comment and probably attempted to change their bid amount but the @steembay bot catches the actual first post.

Not sure if @SteemBay has something in mind when this occurs, as I have no doubts it can happen accidentally, but the system has to have something in place so people can't have accidental bids.

When I look on Steemdb I don't see the first error post though in that other users bid, but I'm not sure if I'm looking at this correctly

Is @SteemBay broke? You highest bid seems to have gone through fine though.

I agree with you that there should be a way to eliminate a bid.
Greetings and thanks for your information.

Read this @steembay!! (Thanks)
