Could it be that I place my bid to late because I placed it about 2 minutes before it end.
Your auction had a quite a curious outcome. I would encourage you to contact AS support to see if they have any explanation of what may have happened and report back to us.
You mentioned you placed your bid(snipe?) 2 minutes before the end of the auction. I know there is a "lock out" period some amount of time before the end of a listing during which no changes can be made to a snipe. I don't recall the exact time, nor whether it was a factor in your snipe not executing.
I'm very intrigued by the other bidders multiple bids exactly 1 second apart? Did all these bids come in just before the auction end? Is this some sort of strategy to overwhelm the ebay system that prevents other snipes from being accepted/recognized by ebay? Are there other snipe services that permit users to schedule multiple snipes of differing bid amounts and lead times? I can't see how someone could bid so rapidly and regularly without it being done by a service or programatically. Or could it be a glitch? - The bidding mechanism some how got "stuck"?
As Rick mentioned, posting the listing number might help us to figure this out.
Hi Jabbergah,
I know its an old thread,
but in case you need to know about item number of the auction, the item number 151012001131

You could see the bidder by yourself,
I don't know if this a strategy to confuse eBay bidding system,
but its just not natural for user to bid like that,
The Auction Sniper support person already contact me and they said its because the server to busy, and yet I wonder why if server too busy bidder still have change to place bid multiple time in a second interval?
