Hi,

I am sniping an eBay item ending today during eBay maintenance hours. I have set it at 10 sec delay. I asked eBay live support whether bidding would be a problem during this time and they said that it may be a bit slower but that it likely won't be affected. They said it's mostly registration and placing new items and that placing bids shouldn't be a problem.

Were any of you in this type of situation ? Did your bids go through alright ? Should I set my delay to perhaps 20 or 30 sec ? That would suck 'cause the element of surprise is lost.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Daniel,

Read the FAQ titled Why was my snipe 30 minutes early (Friday AM maintenance)?
http://www.auctionsniper.com/faqsnipes.aspx#faq_5a_lbl

Depending on when the auction ends, the snipe can be placed 2 hours before the end of the auction. Since the snipe will be placed before ebay’s scheduled maintenance (which is the same time that AS does its maintenance), lead time isn’t an issue, but somewhere between 8 and 12 seconds.
