I believe that the timing is NOT synching properly, but is happening before. I bid on EBAY 3088225437 and my timer was set for five seconds -- the bid went in 15 seconds before auction end, and someone else bid ten seconds later, approximately five seconds before auction ended.
If they reacted to my bid, the price went up by $ 12.00 on an item that was sitting there for $87.00.
This previously happened routinely after some software upgrades. I am not sure what has happened lately.
