Reply to "Being beaten using 7 seconds"

If lead time doesn't matter then why have it?
It’s expected and makes the sniper feel like they are in control and make them feel they are a bigger part of the process. It’s kind of like the close-door button on elevators.

There was not enough time for Sniper to respond with a new bid.
AS only places one bid/snipe, and that’s your maximum bid amount.

You seem to be saying to bid very high and hope that Sniper can counter bid in the remaining 6 seconds.
See previous reply.

Sniper says: "We never recommend less than 5 second lead times on auctions. Less time than that and eBay can take too long to process it, or even respond with the wrong message."
That’s dated, and came about in the day when eBay was slower and AS wasn’t as good as they are now. AS supports a 3-second lead time, which I’m sure, considering snipers’ probable mentality, gets used very frequently, and yet if you search the forum you’ll not find any posts (at least for a couple of years) complaining about a not-in-time snipe.
