Not met reserve bid..
Ive bid on an item I want urgently but have not met the reserve.
I have now seen the item somewhere else ( for a slightly higer price).
If the origonal seller lowers the reserve to under my bib is my bid still binding?

No, in fact it isn't binding now, so you didn't need to use the word "still" binding. If the seller lowers the reserve to under your bid, eBay automatically lowers your bid to one dollar less than the new reserve.

Sorry, started having wifi problem. Here's what eBay says
If you lower the reserve price below the high bidder’s maximum bid, we’ll lower the high bidder’s maximum bid to $1.00 below the new reserve price. After you lower a reserve price, we’ll contact bidders to let them know about the change and ask them to bid again to reconfirm their interest. You can’t remove the reserve price if there are bids on your listing.
