Not that it matters but I checked every losing snipe I had placed since joining and every one was placed 7 to 9 seconds before the end of the auction. My default is 3 seconds. I understand the adjustment for busy times but some of these auctions were weekdays and one was very early am, if I wanted to place a 7 or 9 second bid I would have. Again not an issue and I'm sorry you cant see how someone may benefit from knowing this.
