Reply to "Five snipes placed 38 minutes early"

I agree, why can't the bidder be alerted to the fact that the snipe will be placed eary due to down time. Perhaps it is because they won't place the snipe!!!!! Sneaky.
I sent a query to AS and the response was "quote" We do this if eBay servers are running slow. We monitor how long it is taking them to accept bids. If they are running slowly we put in the bids that much in advance. If their servers then speed back up your bid goes in early. "unquote" - 38 minutes too early. What do you think of that answer?
