Ok, I did a lot of research on these boards last night to make sure I wasn't completely nuts in trying to win one item between two auctions that were only 16 seconds apart (despite the minimum of 30 secs that Sara recommends).
I searched the AS Community and found where I should make my snipe time 5 secs so there'd be enough time for AS to see whether I'd 'won' or not -- and that seems to have happened just fine.
I lost the first auction because my increment wasn't high enough. That's fair.
But then, my next notification tells me: "(Item # 4372952273)
Your Max Bid: US $35.99
Current Item Price: US $31.00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Status Summary: Unable to Sign In
Your snipe did not win because of the reason above
Suggestion: You might want to consider using Auction Sniper Bid Groups. "
Um, yeah, ok.
Granted, I still may not have won, but why couldn't AS sign in??? It should ALREADY have been signed in, no?? and if it wasn't, a) why not, b) why couldn't it?-nothing changed on my end, passwd or username-wise....
Just highly curious and mildly miffed.
Thanks for the insights,
Cheers,
Dawn
