Reply to "AS enters bid at 11 secs when set to snipe @ 3 secs"

Steve as I mentioned in my post I have my own post concerning my issue. 3532137645 is the item number. The other bidder was a nibbler and if my bid would have been placed with 5 seconds to go I would have won. I have been on eBay since 1997 and if I am bidding manually I would not have bid until the last minute usually less than 30 seconds. And there would not have been enough time for one bidder to place four bids which is what happened.

The purpose of AS is to get an item at a lower price. Outbid is not the right term here, error on AS is really correct.

I am well aware of bidding my maximum but to see one bidder place four bids until he wins defeats the whole purpose of AS. I might as well have placed my bid in three days earlier.

I still believe AS should give me a free snipe or three.
