Reply to "early bid"

Hi Darkfrog,

2.5 minutes early sounds very odd. Usually early snipes happen for auctions ending on Sunday evenings or that end on the exact quarter hour – neither of which is the case with this auction. And, the most I can remember a snipe being early was maybe 1 minute. I checked ebay’s system status, and that didn’t provide any help. I also checked out some of the auctions that isisales has sniped and they were all within 4 seconds of the close of the auction, so his 2-second snipe on the auction you listed “suggests” that there wasn’t a slow response time on ebay.

Don’t think we can give you any info on why it went in early, or if it will happen again, so you might want to fill a support request:

I have a feeling you’ll get a canned response from AS, but then again, maybe there was some kind of hiccup “out there”.

If AS does provide you anything definitive, sure would like to hear about it.


Good luck.
