Reply to "Bid placed to early"

I'm sure you know this, but it may help to actually read it... 'It's not the last bid that wins, it's the highest.'

It's very unlikely your bid was seen and responded to in 10 seconds or less. (Possible, but not likely) Much more likely that other bids were planed and would have been placed whether you had bid or not.

AS monitors trafic and response times between AS and eBay. Your bid was placed earlier to insure it reached eBay and was recorded before auction end. In AS's estimation, your bid was sent early enough to have your bid recorded at your requested lead time. They missed by 7 seconds. Your bid was probably sent 15 to 20 seconds before auction end.

Not great news, but better early than no bid at all. Hope that helps explain things.

WELCOME to the forum.
