Hi,
It is 1 second i should think
Your lead time should be at least 5 seconds -
unless you are directly connected to the eBay server in their building 
- it will take time to communicate with a server over the net - 5 seconds (the default) seems ideal, good luck

You can lose because your bid is not high enough to win. You can be proxy outbid.

Don't get crazy trying to be the last bidder. Any bids placed in the last 10 seconds or so are planed well in advance and will be placed. When it comes to bids placed by others, it matters little when (or even if) your bid is placed. Remember... it's the highest bid that wins, not always the last.
p.s. you can not modify or cancel your snipe in the last 2-3 minutes of the auction.
WELCOME, to you both!

I'll second Puppy's Welcome
... or go to your My Snipes page and click the modify button. Lead times are between 1 and 120 seconds.
Good Morning Puppy, You always make things sound so much easier.
What's up with the 'searches', 'New Since Your Last Visit' and 'Custom Avatars’? I haven't seen it addressed. Maybe someone wants a little revenge
I hope those features aren't going by the wayside too.

Morning Jake. I got the impression AS is convinced it's an infopop problem and waiting for someone else to report it. Think I'll bump the other thread.
Fad Gadget and Eric58 welcome to our forum! I use 8 seconds and have only lost a snipe because I did not bid enough, not because it was too late.
Jake and Puppy, if another thing stops working on the forum, I think it will become sterile!
