Reply to "Don't you think the lead time should be changed?"

There was a time when 1 second could be specified. Back then there were LOTS of “not-in-time” complaints, and lots of posts telling new users they should specify anywhere from 10 to 25 seconds on auctions ending during ebay’s prime times. Then AS changed the minimum to 5 seconds, and, as you can see by the following link, it was changed to a minimum of 3 seconds:

Before AS dropped 1 and 2-second snipes, questions about lead-time were probably the most common ones to appear on the forum from new members. Now, it’s not very often when that comes up.

I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for AS to return to allowing 1-second snipes.

Actually, since AS places the snipe when IT thinks it should, I somewhat question the value of even being able to specify a lead-time. I guess it gives everyone something to think/talk/speculate about.
