I was so pleased when I found AS and started using it a few months ago. I seemed like the answer to so many prayers......however, despite being very impressed with AS in the early days, the service is getting steadily worse and worse. Firstly my lead times were 'adjusted' to 25+ seconds and I either got outbid on items or paid more - I did query this and got the usual '....AS compensates for high eBay demand traffic' - not at that time of night, I don't think so. When I queried again, I got a very curt and arrogant response along the lines of......'would you rather loose the item altogether??' - I let this pass, as the writer did have a fair point. HOWEVER, now a new situation has developed. A snipe failed to 'go off' on an item, and it still appears in my current pending snipes folder more than 5 hours after the auction ended!!. It even says the correct ended time under the description - WHAT IS GOING ON HERE??. Come on AS - I am paying you for a RELIABLE service - not to foul up my auctions and give me arrogant responses to my queries.
