I bid earlier tonight on an auction that closes later this evening. The auction page showed that I had become the high bidder with my maximum bid.
Howver, when I received the high bidder notice from eBay, this is what it said:
Your current bid: $11.60
Your maximum bid: $15.00
Current price: $15.00
Why isn't my current bid the top bid? Should it register $11.60, or $15? I'm confused. E-mail from eBay sounds to me like I should have taken over the bid with $11.60, but I didn't, it shows $15.

I believe a previus bidder must have placed a reserve of $15.00 thus pushing you out of first place because if 2 bidders bid the same anount the earliest bid takes precedence.
