so I've set my lead time to 7 seconds for an auction that is ending on Thursday night - Any advice? more or less lead time given time of day?

and.. so all I have to worry is for other snipers right, getting in at faster lead times?

question for the future - what happens when a large # of people end up using sniping software - the system may become oversaturated with snipers and then the focus becomes the technology that drives the fastest lead times???....something to ponder!!


Welcome.

Actually, you are looking at sniping and AS as something new, possibly because they are new to you. Both have been around for a few years, and snipers still represent only a tiny fraction of eBay users. This question has been asked before, and the response is that eBay has 50 million members and growing, so snipers will always account for a sliver of users. This is especially true for the majority who just get on eBay and do not spend time learning bidding strategies and all of the nuances--they just bid! Big Grin
