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

Do, it wasn't an auto bid that raised the price. The person put in a bid a minute before auctionsniper put in my bid 38 seconds early. Then the person came back and put in another bid twenty five seconds after my bid came in. He had put in several bids during the day. Again, he changed his bid twice in the last minute.

auctionshiper put my bid in 38 seconds too early and it cost me an extra $13. Looking at the bid history clearly shows it.

Again, my question is, how often do they put the bid in 38 seconds early? Eight seconds would be fine, but 38 seconds is too much time. It lets others react and defeats the entire purpose of sniping.

So how often does it happen?

Thanks
