Thank you Steve. I did read your response to Millicentd.
But, I agree with Dracq's response (Auction Sniper Support Forum) to your response on the same subject. 'But why no explanation?'
As a 'Newbie' I was following AS's suggestion of a lead time. If Sunday is such a busy time then it would seem logical that AS would change the suggested lead time to greater than 5 seconds.
I join AS, I follow the directions that AS posts, I enter a bid with AS, I lose the bid because it is Sunday, I am chastised in the forum for not reading about the 'Sunday problem', I leave with a negative impression.... Will I return??????
