Reply to "Losing Snipes"

lucerne419Member

Help! Something similar happened to me. I had my snipe set for a 5 second lead time. The auction was set to end at 13:02:48. At 13:02:19 the high bid was $45.00 for the item. My snipe went in at 13:02:33 for $52.11. I was the high bidder at that time-But there was 15 seconds left and the previous bidder had time to enter another bid at 13:02:46 and won the item with a bid of $53.11. I'm convinced if my snipe has gone in with a 5 second lead time, the other bidder would not have had time to enter another bid. Can anyone explain this to me? For reference the item number is 2241353498. Thanks!
