question about lead times.

grahamMember

I have just registered for Auction Sniper and have my three freebies but this lead time thing puzzles me.

The whole point of sniping ( correct me if I'm wrong guys ) is to get a last minute bid in when it is to late for anyone to retaliate. From my experience of ebay, by the time you have refreshed the screen, seen what the bid is currently, set up a new bid, and submitted, it must take a good minute to bid manually.... So what is the point of a 5 second lead time ???

Surely 30 or even 45 seconds is short enough.

If you use a 10 or 20 or 30 sec lead and someone else bids the same amount with a 5 sec lead it will be won by the first bid ( as I understand it ) so can anyone explain to me why a shorter lead may be good ???

Many thanks.
