Reply to "Why did it snipe early and cost me $13 more?"

Need to read the FAQs and these forums my friend - if your Auction ends on a Sunday then demand for eBay's servers is high so AS adjusts the lead time. No-one with any AS experience uses 3 seconds, 8 seconds is the norm here...

As to what happened, your snipe was placed by AS and someone else, probably an automatic snipe too, was placed after yours. Luckily your max was higher than their max and you won.

So AS didn't cost you $13, AS enabled you to win for less than or equal to your max. So rejoice...
