Ebay increased latency

Aranger2 asks, "Should I increase my snipe window from 5 seconds to maybe 8 or 10 seconds."

I use 8 seconds and find it very satisfactory. The exception would be if I'm placing a bid on a Sunday afternoon or evening. Then I allow at least 30 seconds.

I'm not sure what you mean when you ask, "Can I snipe with the same registration as I use to place an auxilary bid?" You must always snipe with your eBay username and eBay password as registered with both eBay and AS.

Ok, I am sniping with Aranger2 on ebay on item A.
I have also placed a bid on ebay as Aranger2 on the same item A.
Will this create a conflict, sniping and bidding on the same item using the same name for both actions???

No. It wouldn't matter even if you used a different username and password for your manual snipe, just so long as your AS snipe was placed using a password and username registered with eBay.

True in the sense that it would work, but it will matter - your two identities would be bidding against each other raising the price to at least your lower bid plus one increment or (if the bids are the same or less than one increment apart) the level of your only or higher bid

Absolutely right, amh. I should have added that but I was concentrating on what he could do, not on the consequences. My bad.
