Reply to "Snipe not placed, reason given as READY????"

Did you click to find out the reason?
If the snipe was set to go off this evening, chances are high the lead time was the problem. E-Bay has a lot of auctions that end on Sunday night, and you need to leave plenty of time (about 20 seconds, maybe more) in order to get them through to e-Bay. Their computers back up and things slow down. It's even worse if the auction ended on an hour, half hour, or quarter hour because of the huge volume of auctions that end at those times. If the lead time was the problem, as I suspect, the same thing would have happened if you'd tried sniping manually. AS tries to adjust for these delays at e-Bay, but unless you leave a generous lead time on Sunday nights, chances are your bid won't get through on time.
