Reply to "Fed up with loosing snipes ..."

Thanks Sara for checking this out. (And other members for the other replies)

What has happened previously is I have been able to win a sniping war by bidding in the last few seconds.

It seemed as if multiple bids including proxies were being generated right up to the exact moment of close.

In other words I was winning a bid EVEN IF SOMEONE HAD A HIGHER PROXY BID due to the "cross-firing" of multiple bids and proxies. I accept that it was sometimes a matter of luck whether I was ahead at the exact end of bidding.

Now that snipes are consistently going in early - I'm no longer winning in this situation.

One final question.

Can't we have an option to turn off Auction Snipers clock ajustment - so that if I want a bid to go in 3 seconds before the auction ends - it goes in at that time - not some AS created adjusted time? (i.e. transfer the risk of a late bid due to delay to the user)
