AS sniped 2 hours too early

lixlittleMember

I use AS quite a lot and always use 5 seconds for the lead time. I set a snipe on auction 4530934388 which ended at 09.00 GMT.
The winning bid was placed by AS at 07.01.52 GMT , almost 2 hours too early.
I have looked at the item in "my snipes" "items won" and it looks exactly the same as the others with a lead time of 5 seconds.
Any insight into this would be much appreciated.
cheers
Linda

Each week, eBay reserves a two-hour period to perform routine maintenance on the global eBay platform. We currently start at 1:00 a.m. and end at 3:00 a.m. Pacific Time on Friday mornings. Starting on Thursday, February 24, we will be changing this two-hour period to start at 11:00 p.m. on Thursday nights and end at 1:00 a.m. on Friday mornings (23:00 to 01:00) Pacific Time. This is the same time period that PayPal also uses to perform weekly maintenance.

If only AS would let people know that their auctions end in this maint. slot. Hang on, have I mentioned that before? Lix, please log a support call via help tab and maybe it'll get fixed!

Well, let's see. This must # 6000! I don't think AS will ever wake up! Wonder how much business they have lost over this issue, only because they refuse to announce the down period or better yet, have it in the banner?
