bid group and ending times - further explanation

andyMember

Hi, I did a search on bid group ending times, but to be honest I wasn't sure ot not if th answers applied to my situation - new to all -you see!

I have two items from the same seller, in a bid group. One ends at 04h 56m 08s the other ends at 04h 57m 00s

My question: is there enough time for AS to 'Sort it out' if I win one . I want to win one, I don't want to win both! Would be very very expensive.

Thanks,

Andy

You won't win two, and the FAQ's says you need 30 seconds between actions:

Even with a 5 second lead time, you're still within AS' 30 seconds

Thanks Rick - I read the FAQ - but forgot 30 second lead time! ...D'oh...I also double checked the true end time as listed on ebay, rather than the time remaining which I posted.
It shouldn't make any difference though? Or could it, if they were very close together?

Cheers,

Andy

Andy,

The times on My Snipe page are for decoration, and do not control the time that snipes are placed:

The clock that AS uses to determine the actual placements of snipes is synchronized with ebay’s:

Happy sniping
