Reply to "What's the risk of choosing a shorter lead time?"

If another bidder submits a higher bid than yours six days before COB, you're not going to win the item, even if AS submits your bid one second before COB.

The real advantage of AS is that other bidders don't know you're in the game, so the sight of your bid won't tempt them to bid against you. The only value of short lead time is that others don't have enough time to see your bid and react with a higher bid. Seven seconds is usually short enough to prevent competitive bidding.
