If AS is always testing response times and adjusting the lead times to suit, why do the users (i.e. you and me) have to adjust things for the busy times like Sundays?
Surely AS will automatically do that for you if the hype is to be believed?
Well, just a guess here on my part...but I would think that AS (being just a computer program) is only make an adjustment, of a couple seconds, based on time it is taking for it to get into eBay's system...it is not taking into consideration the level of logic a person (you, the sniper) is using in figuring out your lead time. While it appears that most of us use pretty similar lead times, I wouldn't want AS (the computer program) making a judgment call for me and changing my lead time from, say, 9 seconds to 22 seconds just because *it* thinks that is what I want.
Bottom line is that I don't mind AS automatically altering my lead time by 2-5 seconds, but going beyond that is taking the choice out of my hands...and I wouldn't like that.
Input from others on this?!?
