I just wanted to say that I just won an auction that ended today at 7:00 PM PST, 10:00 PM EST.
I set a 10 second lead time, since it ended on the hour. My bid through AS was recorded by eBay as having been received with a 23 second lead time.
Thanks AS (& Sara B.) for doing what was necessary to have my bid received by eBay in time.
I always prefer to have my bid received within the last 30 seconds AT A KNOWN BUSY TIME, rather than missing the auction completely.
