Please tell me why my snipe for eBay2271323157 was not made. The note said something like
"not ready". I checked my snipes for items
ended, and it looks okay to me. I'm not a happy sniper to say the least. Thanks.

...AS really should update the help information.
Could that have been 'Not In Time'?
Your bid was sent during one of the busiest few seconds on eBay... Sunday evenings are bad... auctions ending on exact quarter hours are even worse.

If so, (and it's just a consolation prize) go to:

The message we show in your account is "Did not win." It's an eBay caused error, not us. We sniped, they just didnt accept it. And seeing as that we did it from 4 computers the odds it's our fault is close to zero and the odds it's there fault is close to 100%.
Snipes like this really stink I know. All I can say is that it's pretty rare. Maybe like 1 in 1000 snipes. It happens every day, and there isnt much we can do.
Cool - AS is sniping 1000 snipes everyday and only one doesnt go through (due to ebay error).
so that's all right then!

fault...thanks for the various responses. Just
a warning to other bidders so it spares
you from the same fate!
