Renate999,

Welcome! So you've had a chance to enjoy the benefits of Auction Sniper, hehe?

I just briefly reviewed about 30 of my previous snipes. All but five of them were right on the nose. Three of them were one second less, two of them three seconds less.

You should still have the snipe records under My Snipes for those two auctions. Do they still show the requested lead time?

Check what is set for lead time in your account preferences. Be certain that is what you intended it to be. Also, when you do set a snipe, take note of the lead time in the pop-up window to confirm it is as you've set in your preferences.

I know when I first started, I requested a lead time of two seconds (awfully close, don't you think?), but when I would start to set up a snipe, the pop-up window would automatically have inserted five seconds instead. Never figured that out. But I modified the lead time under my preferences and haven't seen a problem yet.
