Reply to "What's a good safe lead time?"

Hi Modo,

The surest way to win an auction is to place the highest proxy bid thru ebay. The surest way to pay the least amount for an item is to snipe (you still have to have the highest bid). If winning is your highest priority, go with the first method. If price is your highest priority, go with the second.

Since AS adjusts the lead-time to insure that your snipe gets placed, the amount of time you specify isn’t all that important. There is a recommendation in the FAQ’s, but basically it doesn’t make much difference if you specify 3 seconds (1 and 2 seconds aren’t allowed) or 10 seconds.
