Hmmm.. good question. If I were to guess, it would say something along these lines:

What is the ideal lead time? Lead time is the number of seconds FROM the end of an auction that you would like Auction Sniper to place your bid. We recommend lead times between 5 and 12 seconds. Currently, Auction Sniper successfully places 99.9% of all snipes with 5 second lead times.
We don't recommend anything less than 5 seconds Although we send the snipe on time, during peak times an eBay server may not process it in time. This is not the fault of eBay or us; internet traffic is just heavier at certain times. And during peak periods, the default 5 second lead time, while adequate for most weekday situations, often isn‘t enough for evenings and weekends. Anything under 5 seconds is not recommended. We synchronize from an atomic clock which calibrates our servers.
We snipe every auction multiple times, from multiple servers and locations. These servers adjust for eBay server lag according to how long their average server is taking. Remember that it‘s in our interests for you to win.
You should increase your lead time to 7-12 seconds on auctions that close 5-11 p.m. Pacific (eBay) time, and on weekends, when eBay traffic is heavier.
There are risks to sniping. No service or software guarantees your wins. Read more information about the risks of sniping:

Even though the vast majority of these are due to not enough lead time, eBay server lag or heavier than usual internet traffic, you can redeem free snipes for Did Not Win or Not In Time messages at:

Ya... I am guessing it will look something like that.
